Guest guest Posted May 26, 1999 Report Share Posted May 26, 1999 Hi Ronke: I think that it is definitely possible to have the lap-band port put on your breastbone because mine is just below. Jessie would know for sure I think.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 1999 Report Share Posted May 26, 1999 Hi Janet Not so silly a question...however, before I go to Lyon I would like to try to find out if I can get the port attached to the breast bone regardless of which band I have....when you have a 1 1/2 hour consultation its easy to make a 'rash' decision (i.e.: which band will I have).

Guest guest Posted May 26, 1999 Report Share Posted May 26, 1999 No, I meant ask him before you go .... I must be very easily lead (by the nose?) as I just went with the flow, I didn't even question where the port was fixed, perhaps I should've (worried frown ~).

Guest guest Posted May 27, 1999 Report Share Posted May 27, 1999 Hi Janet I doubt if I could get my message across over the phone....what with my limited French and all....What made me think about port placement was that whole stomach erosion conversation that we had when we meet. Having the lap band with the port attached to the breast bone was something that I began to consider...additionally, a new bandster, I can't remember who, has recently posted how Dr Fox(?) had difficulty filling his band because the port had twisted. It just made me think....

Guest guest Posted May 27, 1999 Report Share Posted May 27, 1999 I think that was in Belgium (?) and that does worry me. You know I am given to patting mine just to show it I care (I know .... I'm weird) well now I'm doing it even more to see if it has changed in any way. Am I becoming paranoid (nervous twitch)?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 Hi Jo, Glad to hear that you are home " safe " and the op was straight forward (this time). I guess this op will leave us only slightly less sore than the original band placement, seeing as the only difference is that the band isnt being placed around the stomach but the port is still being attached as well as the search around for the tube. I might be a bit optimistic only asking work for two days off? I ask myself everytime following surgery, why did I do this to myself - but that thought soon passes as the hope that the band will help me transform myself takes over. Don't worry, you will be on the path to success as soon as you get the right fill. Take care, (Tas) " Jo " jo_6691@...> wrote > Well I finally got the port replaced and got to come > home.
