Dr.Curry???

Hi Dr. C! I'm a little concerned with the port replacement surgery. Are you sure I need a replacement? Remember when you filled me last, you said I won't be able to handle it? I was on protein shakes for 3 days and was okay, and now, I'm still pretty restricted. I eat solid food at about 3/4 c -1 c and get REALLY full! Couldn't it has been a false alarm and I do not leak? I'm pretty scared of doing it again and my scar has healed so nicely........ But if we're doing it, shouldn't I be on some sort of restrictions, and what are my limitations (in terms of diet, lifting, excersizing, etc.) for the after? Also about the low profile port. I realize I'm still very big, but would it be impossible for you to access it? This port is sticking out pretty far. If I do I later, would it be considered cosmetic? How much would it cost me then? Also could you have somebody check if my insurance is paying for the port itself? I've heard rumors that the thingy itself it not covered the 2-nd time around. They're considering it to be defective. Sorry for all these questions. Thank you.

Rita, See your email! Dr. C
