Port Location - great problem to have!

Congrats to you!!! That's awesome to lose all that skin! For me, it's not just ugly, it's a reminder of who I USED TO BE... the awful way I used to abused my body/ attempted to ease my emotional pain with food. This stomach skin has got to go. I am really hoping they can just do this all at once but if not, make the port incision below my belly button since all that skin is going bye bye. THANKS!

I had an anchor last year and mine is terrible also and it hurts it kind of pops in and out of place and I hit it on things and it has settled in the area that creases when I sit.  I have started a conversion with with Bariatric and Plastic doctors and they are planning on changing it out for the smaller one and re-positioning it.  The thing is when they first put it in it is surrounded by fat so it kind of shifts as you loose weight, mine flipped after I lost the first 60lbs.

The good thing is insurance will pay (usually, I have pain) for the port and your plastics doc should be able to get the other stuff done during that time so it saves you some money.

I had 10lbs removed and now have lost another 15 so I need a trim (since I have to go under anyhow).

Good luck!  

Congrats on your hard work. Mine is sutured in tight but I think that's part of what hurts when it get**** I hadn't even considered that I would lose some pounds when they take all that skin off. Have I mentioned that I love my band?

I love my band also! There are very few of us but we are still around.  

You know I had 10lbs removed and probably have around 3 lbs hanging around, but I really feel like it improved my circulation or something in that line. After I healed up (took nearly 2/3 months for me) my skin quality has improved, not only can I walk/job more but it seems for whatever reason what I am doing is working!  I think it may be a combination of not having to wear spanx every day, confidence, and my body being happy without the apron.  I need to get my bra area done because it is bad and hurts no matter what type of bra I wear.  

Good luck!!
