Im now 6 days post op and I can feel my port every move I make..not only that..but I can see a HUGE knot where my port is located. Is this normal?

Varies from person to person...I have been banded over a year and you can see my port though my shirt like htere's a 1/2 golf ball there!

I was banded 1/16/12 and I used to be able to see a 'port bump' but now that the swelling is going down its not visible. I can feel it if I try to sleep on my tummy or lean on the anything. I am thinking that will just be something I have to learn to deal with. I am sure as I lose more weight it will be less of an issue.

Good luck to you =0)

I too had bumps after surgery. A big one at the port site and smaller ones at the other 4 incision sites. My doctor said that this was scar tissue and inflamation from surgery and would decrease with time. It took about 2 months for the bumps to disappear. I am 4 months out and there are no bumps, just some faint scars. So this is normal and should decrease with time.

Yeah, I got the half golfball but I'm kind of proud of it!

I've never been able to see my port, but now that I've lost a good amount of weight I can feel it much more easily. No more leaning against the sink to wash the dishes!

Yep! Got the Bump!! Now to Find a lady to Bump ports with!! LOL

Yup, got the bump. Hey, being able to see it means we are losing!

Talking about ports, I have attempted to have 2 fills without success. Doctor thinks the port possibly flipped from the hematoma I had. Has anyone had that issue? I get a flouro next week to see.

I have always been able to feel it and sometimes it is an uncomfortable feeling. Can't see it yet, still too much fat there! But I know others who yes, you can see it. I suspect mine will be visible as well...not sure what to do at that point!

Yep you can see my port bump. I'm so proud of it, cause that means I have lost weight. If it bothers you that bad, as your doctor about moving your port. Although it is another surgery.
