I had my TT Anchor cut done in July but now my port stick out much more now.  If I were you I could call your Lap Band surgeon and ask him to consult with your PS. Good luck

My port stuck out prior to my TT/Anchor Cut, but afterwards it really stuck out.  Some ps can relocate it for you, however, mine was not interested in doing that and I totally understood his point.  It was not his responsiblity to do so.  They do make the "low profile" ports that can be easily installed -- and if you're done with your fills, it won't be a problem.

Make sure that your plastic surgeon is aware that you have had a lap band and the port is still there for he/she needs to be careful not to interfere with it.

right! Good point. My surgeon refused to touch it as he didn't want to cause any trouble. I appreciated that.
