Pregnancy/Delivery Lap Band Port question

For the Lap Band mommies who have had their babies already. I was wondering how was your port through the end of pregnancy and delivery? Not real sure what exactly I'm asking about but just in general did you have any problems with it? I've read about some things about ladies who's ports flipped, mine is attached so I hope it stays attached. My little girl is now high enough to hit/kick my port.

Also
How was eating towards the end of pregnancy? In a normal pregnancy you eat smaller meals towards the end because of limited space in there.

Thanks!
Jamie

I didn't have any port problems during pregnany.  Well other that the port being a little sore from time to time.    I did get fuller quicker at the end of the pregnancy.   I didn't have an unfill though.   I was able to keep down what I ate (mostly), so I just rode it out.

Thanks for replying! My port gets sore sometimes, usually after she does her twists and turns. But it really has always been kinda tender since my surgery. So far I haven't had an unfill, hoping that doesn't change as I get closer to the end.

I was wondering the same thing. You're farther than me. When I lie flat on my back, my port is a couple of inches below my ribcage. I'm worried once I get farther it'll be mashing up against my ribs. If I sit a certain way now it happens... I can only imagine it'll worsen.

Mine is a about 1inch up and 1-2inchs to the left of my belly button. My little girl is now high enough to hit it when she does her flips and turns. She stayed pretty low until recently. Some days it gets tender if she hits that side alot.
