I had my 1st fill at about 6 weeks after surgery. Before, when I was laying down, I could feel the port below my main stitch line. I was pretty much over being sore and haven't tried to feel the port for a while. Now, I can feel the port even while standing and it is above the stitch line and feels harder. It is also sore again. Not overly painful, just like it was after the stitches the outside stitches healed. I notice it if I brush up against it and sometimes it burns a little. Is this normal? I have lost 10 lbs in the past month, maybe it's just closer to the surface?
