Pregnant and the Port

Hi guys:

I have not posted for a while but I told you guys a while back that I was pregnant well I am due 04/19/06, I know there might not be alot of people that can answer any of my questions but my last fill was back in 07/16/05 I was up to 2.2 cc then back in 9/3/05 I needed an unfill because I wasn't able to eat at all well I am now to 1.1 cc (yeah they took half my fill) well since then I have not gained but 1 pound and I am know 11 weeks almost 12 my question is what happens to the port, when I lay down you can feel it as if it was right on the top of my skin, can it get disconnected as my tummy gets bigger, I still have more than half way to go!! Can anyone answer my question??

Thanks!!

Hi,
I had a baby last April 19th. My port came free from the wall it was stiched to and now is totally flipped and I have to have surgery to have it fixed. I was from being PG because I had a fill in Sept. 2004 right before I found out I was PG and everything was fine well I went a couple months ago to have a fill and they could not due it.
Good Luck, Tracey

Hi,

I have not had the port fixed yet. I was hoping to go to see a Dr. Neal in Washington but he want 5000.00 to do it and I can go back to MX and have it done for 1800 or so. My band was placed by Dr. Lopez in Oct.30,03. Can hardly believe it has been almost 2 years.

Tracey

ps I do not have pain.

Did you self-pay? Because if you're insured and your carrier refuses to cover it, that would be SO wrong.

I posted the same question on other bandster groups and no one else has had any problems, where was your port located. I am so afraid of having that problem and then having to pay out of pocket because I was a self paying patient!!! Good luck.
