I just had mine removed two weeks ago, one year after completing Herceptin. The original surgeon who put it in said he would remove it in his office. I moved, so the original surgeon was not convenient. The new surgeon does not remove them in his office but at a surgery center. No complications, no stitches, just steri strips, no pain medication, just Ibuprofen or aspirin. Its still a little swollen.

Hardest part was sleeping because the port was removed from my right side and I have a fractured left wrist with a cast. Since you probably don't have that complication, I say go for it!
