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.
