hernia from port removal
I had a lap band on 5-06 and the surgeon put the port right on my waistline after I told her not to. The porrt had to be re-located and put near my belly-button. I had my revision done on 5-09 with total success. As it turns out I now have a hernia on the spot where she placed the first port. Have you had this happen????

That usually happens from lifting heavy items too soon after surgery. It's an easy fix if that helps any.

No, it is not. I know that it is easy and I can't wait to have it repaired. It pulls and fills up when I lay down. I had a large abdominal hernia repaired about seven years before and weight loss surgeries.Thanks for your response.
Ports are evil no matter how you look at them. :o(
