Alright, so I was banded June 7th. I destinctly remember being able to feel my port & now I can't? I also notice there is a lump near the area of the port scar. Is this normal, is or has anyone else experienced this? I am really nervous about it & planning to call my doctor tomorrow. My first fill is July 9th and I assume I am worrying over nothing, but I am a little worried. I notice I can eat more & I have cheated a little but not much. Thoughts, anyone!?!?

you've been banded for a month and the swelling has gone down, that's why you can eat more.

don't worry, but do go in for a checkup. I'm sure it's nothing.

The port is a lump near one of your scars.

I thought at first I could feel a little button size object under my skin near the largest scar on my left side, now I can't feel it but there is a lump. I have lost I believe 17 pounds in the last month & all is well, I am looking forward to my fill just nervous about that damn lump & no more little button sized object LoL!

I have a lump of scar tissue and 'lumpy fat' under my largest scar, but it isn't the port, as I originally thought. It might be the same thing, so try not to worry

I think for your state of mind it's good you can see the dr. soon. Everyone is probably different - I can currently feel what I think is my port and it's a tiny hard thing right under my most painful incision (6 days post) but my friend that had this couldn't EVER feel her port until she'd lost over 100 pounds... and she was no heavier than I. We probably all carry different bits of different scars, tissues, fats, etc. in different places so I bet just as your body is changing, so is the port place. Let us know what you find out but try not to worry too. Best of luck to you.

Alright friends, the lump is where my port is...the doctor said everything is normal & I am doing just fine My 1st fill was on Monday July 9th and I passed out LoL! I have never passed out before so it was quite the experience BUT I think it was nerves & lack of food. I am feeling good, no complaints. She said I would feel fuller faster, but I can't say that I have noticed that to much. I was only given 3.8 ccs, and I do notice I need to eat much slower & chew better. Thanks everyone!
