has anyone had problems with thier port protruding from stomach causing pain?

I am 6 wks post op lap band with extensive hiatail hernia repair and am having bad stomach pains when I eat anything. The port is also "sticking out" causing me an "annoying" pain. The surgeon seems to think that I may already need a low profile port instead. Kinda upset that he didn't use better judgement when he placed it. Already lost 25 lbs. Do you think it is the hernia, port or what that is causing stabbing stomach pains? I tried to drink more fluids thinking I may be dehydrated but didn't really help. Any suggestions?
