Hi Kelly

I have to say, that where my port is, it looks funny too... i think it is how it was stitched closed (too tight and pulled the skin lots)

However, i did have a port revision, and only my second port looks like this.

Make sure you follow up with your Dr about the appearance, just to make sure everything is good to go :)

Good luck!!

Wait until you lose some weight, I'll be right even with the rest of your stomach.

After losing all my weight mine looks like a big golf ball sticking out, lol. I'm ok with it...I wouldn't dare be cut again just to move it.

When I sit down it seems to sink in, and occasionally it pokes out when i'm bloated, but probably when I lose weight I'll see it more sunken in.
