That is where I was going to go at first I went to their seminar last year, but my insurance will only cover OHSU because it has a center of excellence distinction. I am going to the OHSU seminar tomorrow so we will see how that goes. I still have not found anyone else that has been to OHSU yet either.

Monterrey where did you go to get the band done in Portland? I am going to the seminar at OHSU to start the process there but have not seen anyone so far on these forums that has used OHSU. Anyone out there that that has used OHSU?

I would be curious to know why he did not like OHSU if you hear from him in the near future.

Anyone out there been to the seminar or had their band done or in the process of being done at OHSU?

thank you so much for the pic and the info laura I really appreciate it, that just seems like such a better place to put it to me.

Most of the things that I have read just say that the port is stitched into the abdominal wall. In another thread somewhere on this site, people were talking about ports flipping. One lady said that she had her port moved after it flipped to a location between her breasts. It seems to make a lot more sense to me that this location would prevent flipping and be easier to find for fills. Has anyone else had their port put in this location or an alternative location?

I am wondering if anyone has had the procedure done though Kaiser in Oregon? Last year I was told that they did not do this procedure, however from other posts in here with Kaiser in other states it looks like they might offer it now? Does anyone know?

Is it noticable in that location?

Has anyone else has there port moved to this location? To me that seems like a better place to put it to start with but this is the first I have heard of it. Is it noticeable?

Veggie you said you had kaiser do you live in Oregon? I have them also and last time I checked with them they did not offer the procedure. I really hope that this has changed ? It sounds like you have them and they offer it now?
