Hi there-

Can anyone see or feel their port? I can and it kind of creeps me out. Mine is just up and to the rt of my belly button. It's right under the skin surface and I can always feel it especially as I sit up close to my desk when working om my computer. My belly hits right up to the edge of my desk right at the port site. It doesn't hurt or anything but I can feel it and it's sort of uncomfortable. I can also see where it is. It's looks like a small 1/2 dollar sixe or so lump. I imagine it will only get worse as I keep losing weight.

Does this happen with anyone else? Or am I just being hypersensative to it... :unsure:

Let me know.

Thanks!

Ally

I was just telling my surgeon during my fill yesterday that my port is great for my posture - I can feel it when I am slouching, and since it kind of creeps me out, I tend not to slouch anymore! He laughed

My doc uses low profile ports as a general rule. I am too scared to try to feel it under my skin - I think it might freak me out! I definitely can't see it but I still have 70 pounds to lose.

Right now my port is about the size of an egg about 3 inches above my belly button. I can feel it, I can see it, and it sort of creeps me out. Doc said that the lump will go away some. Hrrrrmmm... I guess I didn't read enough to understand how this works. There aren't any parts sticking out of me. Hahaha! I think it's something I'll get used to, though the hernia is right to the left of it, so I have to be careful.

No worries man, it's all part of the deal.

Hi Everyone! Thanks for all the great responses...glad to hear others can feel and see the port. And that some are a little creeped out. I agree its a small price to pay for getting healthy. I only had the surgery about 6 weeks ago so maybe i'll get used to it.
