pregnancy and the lap band, what about the port???

Hi all, just trying to get some info here.  i was banded (for the second time as first one slipped) on 18 April 09.   I recently found out I was pregnant, am in my 8th week.  really exciting.  My concern is the port.  My port is on the left side near my belly button, can this interfere with my bump at all?  Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I really don't have any advice or words of wisdom as my port is located right below the middle of my breasts. I don't think it would affect anything other than depending on how much you've lost already I imagine you may notice it a bit more. Hope everything turns out for the best for you and the baby.

My port is under my left boob.  You could feel it alot more the further I got in my pregnancy, but you really couldn't see it.  I don't know what will happen with it being further down.
Congrats on your pregnancy!

 Sounds like yours is located about where mine is! I had no trouble at all! (haven't updated my ticker, but my baby boy was born on Friday morning). Once in a while I would get a little port soreness as the abdominal muscles stretched, but it was usually only for about a day. Also, whenever I had a nurse at my OB's office who did not know about my band, they would find the bump while doing the exam and look hilariously confused 

Congratulations on the birth of your baby, you must be delighted! Thanks for your post, always food for thought!
