Congrats on your weight loss of 148 lbs.. I weighed 252 lbs and had surgery on 9/24/09. I went in Nov. for my first fill and my port had flipped... needless to say I flipped out because I just had surgery up until that point I had lost 25 lbs. My revision was on on 1/14/10 and my weight at that time was 230.. today I weigh 222 lbs.. and with the revision they repositioned the port. The pain was minimal and I came back to work yesterday.... I am hoping that this incident does not happen anytime soon.. but all I can say is that there is a slight chance that this can occur and that I hope everything goes well for you.. oh they just open one incision and the procedure was only about 45 mins... preping and anesthesia..
