Foreign Object

My main question is does anyone feel like something is foreign in there body? I am scheduled for surgery on August 5, and I am wondering if I will feel it when I sleep on my side, or when I bend down?:smile:

 

I have been on this website everyday for about 2 months now, and I have learned some valuable info but, the idea of something in me is freaking me out.:sad:

I can feel my port. You can even see the outline of it through my abdomen. Its between my chest about 3-4 inches below. Its easily felt as well. Iam not a stomach sleeper but I can say if I was I could prob sleep on it. Its a bit sore but I think its b/c Iam only 3 wks post op. Iam sure the sensitivity will go away. Right after surgery it bothered me to wear my bra b/c it put pressure on my port. That has subsided. I wasn't able to sleep on my sides for about 2 nights after surgery. It was a bit painful to get on my sides but it was bearable and comfortable once I was still. Like I said Iam now 3 wks out and everything is fine now!! Don't freak out. Think of it as a great tool that WILL help you lose weight. I do wish my port was further down where there's more padding but its not, so Iam ok with it. GOOD LUCK!!
