Because my BMI is pretty low now, yes my port does stick out. You can see it easily.

My surgeon said I have not much fat between my stomache muscles and my skin, so of course it'll stick out. I still prefer it sticking out than having the fat there!

No one I know has complained about the port sticking out yet tho. :)

Mine is like half a golf ball pasted on my abdominal wall. It is visible and very very easy to feel, you would only have to bump into me accidentally to notice I had a big hard lump there. My kids can feel it when they give me a hug, they dont even have to put their hands on it.

It may sound awful, but honestly, it doesnt bother me at all. I'd change it for a low profile one but the scars have all healed and I dont want a fresh scar there. I want o wear my bikini in Thailand in 9 weeks time!

Tracie-- I'm glad that made you smile, my port sticks out, you can see it and you can feel it. But I guess I just feel like its a part of me now.

There are low profile ports that they can change you to later when you are at goal and you don't need regular fills anymore. Sometimes they even move it behind your bellybutton if you have a Tummy Tuck.

I have made an agreement with myself not to make any decisions about what to do on port revision or tummy tuck until I have been at goal for at least 6 months to a year. That will give me a chance to get use to how things are and see if they really bother me.

The boobs, now that, is another story....:)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
