I can "feel" my port but not move it.

i thought its suppose to feel flat , mine feels like the outer ring of the circle?

Unfortunately, the more I lost the more I felt it... and now I can see it. It pokes me when I bend over. For me, its a small price to pay to save my life.

Down the line, when I finally save up enough for some good old plastic surgery I will have it relocated.

And yes, mine also feels like a circle. I like to feel it... it reminds me regularly of the good things I am doing for myself!

My port moves every night when I sleep. I go to bed and it's hanging out with my belly button; I wake up and it's creeping its way up my chest like some pervert at a night club.

A good stretch puts it back in its place though. It's been like this since I hit goal and it doesn't hurt or feel weird, so I've never been worried about it. I figure it’s something my muscles do when I sleep since I do sleep on my stomach.

That is wild!!! I never heard of such a thing!!!:angry:

They told me at my doc's office that my port is positioned in a different place now based on the way I've lost weight in my stomach??:angry:

When I had my first fill, my dr. said that my port was on its side. Either it moved that way or that's the way he put it like that by mistake or something.

I actually had mine to flip. I had to have another surgery to repair it.
