Can't feel Port anymore????

Hello Everyone,

I was banded on May 25, 2010. About 2 weeks post surgery, I could find and feel my port very easily. But now that I'm close to 7 weeks post op and 20lbs down, I'm having trouble finding/feeling my port. Has this happened to everyone else?

Thank you!!!:thumbup:

Thank you!!

I've tried finding it both lying down and standing up. I think I feel it but it's not as noticeable now. I'm trying to not worry about something that's probably nothing but, this is all so new. I see my surgeon into weeks for my 1st fill, so I'll know something soon.

I've had that a couple times. Sometimes I feel a little swollen (maybe from exercise?), or bloated and it seems like the port disappeared, when logically we know it can't. Where would it go???

I was banded the day after you. Trust me, the surgeon had no problem finding it for my first fill!!! It was below and to the right of where I thought it was...........
