  1. Mine was the same way, a huge golf ball and I felt like it stuck out further than anything so it got banged into all the time. I found myself automatically protecting it. If I could attach a pic I would.

    My doctor used the same incision. He had another doctor in there to stretch and hold the skin open while he moved the port. I'm guessing its between my rib cage and stomach muscle. He cut into the muscle. I can't feel it anymore unless I dig around looking for it. It's pretty amazing. It makes for interesting adjustments. The needle going through the muscle to get to the port. It sounds worse than it is. It's not bad at all. Next time I see my doc ill ask more questions about it and let you know.


  2. My port stuck out so far from all the weight that I lost, it bumped into everything and was pretty painful so last year I had a port revision surgery and my doctor put a smaller port in under my stomach muscle and it is so much better. It no longer hurts during workouts and it doesn't get banged around anymore.
