Anyone Have Just Their Port Removed?

Want to have just my port removed. I've lost 170 lbs and it was sticking out a lot. It makes exercising (and everything else) very uncomfortable. I had to have a complete unfill because I got an ulcer in my little pouch from taking antibiotics. I recently had a abdominoplasty and it's even worse. I'm having a breast lift in a month and with that tightening of the skin I'm sure it will be even worse. I'd like to have it done here in the US but I think I can have it done cheaper in Mexico (where I'm having the breast lift).

Lauralou, I didn't think I'd want or hopefully need the tummy tuck, but it became very important after 170 lbs.

Karen -

Congrats on the weight loss.

Good luck with the surgery.

$20K is alot of money but I had a friend give me this analogy to justify PS - you spend more on a car that you have for what, 8 years? But my nose/tummy/whatever, I will have for life.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

BTW - my denied surgery is costing me $18K. Fun, fun!!!
