Hi all,

I just found this site yesterday, after doing a search on google for "port moving after lapband". Had noticed mine had moved up about 2 inches and asked the Dr if he knew why. He looked at me strange, then felt my stomach and goes, "Well, I was going to reassure you it hadn't moved, but you're right - I dunno..." LOL.

Anyway, I'm 26 yrs old, living in Australia and was banded in March of this year. Down about 15 kilos so far and my sleep aponea has improved by leaps and bounds.

Glad to have finally found a decent forum about banding and looking forward to talking to all of you.

Welcome aboard! There is a lot of information and support here just for the taking. Browse through all the older posts as well as the new ones. It's also good to use the search button at the top to look up some subjects you might have some interest in.

Welcome to LBT!!! I hope you find the info you need. I'm sure more folks will add to your info soon. 15 kilos is about 30 pounds, right? well done!

Hi Parvathi -- There are a lot of Aussies here. "Aussie Jode" posted a message recently to figure out where all of you were to see if it would be possible to meet; see http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=7188 . Try searching for Australia or Oz via the dark blue bar toward the top of the screen and you'll probably get a lot of matches. Meanwhile, congratulations on the great weight loss, and welcome! Hope the wandering port isn't a problem.

Hi Ladies,

Thanks for the warm welcome I would have missed the search bar completely had it not been pointed out LOL - that'll come in handy.

Cheers!

Hiya Par, and welcome. I've heard a lot of people talk about their moving ports, so I don't think it's too uncommon. Glad to see you here.

Welcome!! I felt my port "pop" into different places right after surgery. I thought maybe I had flipped it, but it stopped popping around and setted in eventually. I bet your muscle tissue will firm up and it will settle into a spot.

LBT is a great supportive site that will help you through the whole process. We hope to see you again!
