Anyone here care to discuss their experience with a low-profile port? My port is becoming VERY noticeable, especially when I exercise. It looks like I have an "outtie" belly-button just below my rib cage. :rolleyes2: My doctor many months ago mentioned something about a low-profile port. Before I go back to him, I just wanted to see some experiences here. Did your doctor replace it free? What it an in-the-office procedure, or will I have to go back to the hospital? The more weight I lose and more fat I lose, the more uncomfortable the port gets. All in all not a bad problem to have.

My sig is a little out of date. I'm actually down to 205 now.

I have a low profile port. He installed it when I had my surgery so I don't know much about swapping them out. I have lost 85 lbs and do not even see it. My fills are just as easy too. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping for the "stealth" port, because it is pretty unsightly now. I also feel like there is pressure on it all the time, and also while not painful, it is uncomfortable to have things press on it.

I just had a low profile port replaced yesterday. Boy am I sore. My old port had tilted almost sideways and was protruding pretty badly. Insurance paid for it as medically necessary.
