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.

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!

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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
