let's talk ports

where is your port?

Is that where is was placed by your band Dr?

if you have had your PS already, how bad does it show?

If you haven't had surgery, do you plan to have it replaced with a low profile port, or have it moved?

If you are having it moved, where is it being moved to?

if you are having it moved, were you told it would NOT show in the new spot?

I'm so afraid mine will show if i leave it, but i don't know where i should have it placed that it won't show. also, my band Dr. really doesn't want the PS to move it for risk of infection. I REALLY trust my PS that he would be very careful, and i know he has done this before. I'm just not sure of where he wants to put it because someone else says their's shows in that place.

i don't want it to end up showing really bad if i leave it, then wanting to have it moved or replaced with a low profile port AFTER PS because i don't want SCARS! my PS SHOULD take away all of my stretch marks and my port scar! the other little scars from my band surgery are barely visible, so those don't bother me at all.

:) YES, i'm stressing over everything now! can i just be knocked out from now until the surgery is DONE! LOL

Hi:

My port is right where it's always been. It's about two inches below the bottom of my rib cage, right in the middle. It's not noticeable at all. When I had plastic surgery there wasn't alot of excess fat there so I'm not sure if she had to do anything with it. I had a full tummy tuck with some lipo in the flank area and also in the mons area. I'm very pleased with the results and am so happy my port is where it is. Never had any issues with it.

Best wishes to you with your upcoming plastic surgery.

Remember, for the best results you really must follow doctors orders and rest alot and then some more.

Take care.

Sue
