Port Question

[newlybanded2012 0]

I was banded on 07/11. And had my follow up today. I was wondering. Did you guys feel your port after surgery. I cannot feel mine and I am not sure if I should be nervous

There may be some swelling still.

I can't remember if I could feel my right off the bat but now I am 3 weeks out and I can feel it if I push down near my largest incision.

Yeah, I only thought I sort of felt it the first week or two after surgery, but now I can definitely feel it. I agree, I think it's hidden by swelling at first.

Thank you I've been reading about people whom have had the port flipped over and that made me nervous, cause I couldn't feel mine

Some people have more stomach fat than others, so that could be an issue. It could also be that your surgeon placed it in a hidden away place

I had too much stomach fat to feel it initially. Now I can feel it that I have lost a lot of stomach fat. I also can feel it if I lay on my stomach on the floor (during exercising). That drives me nuts.

I can feel it a month later but only when I am laying down.

It took me a couple of weeks before I found it, but mines near my belt line. Luckily, I hate belts! :-)
