Just wondering if I should be worried about my port showing a bump under my skin (or being noticeable at all)

So far I dont see it at all, but I can very easily feel it under my skin. Like it feels really close to showing

Anyone have any experiences?

How easily can you guys feel your ports?

i can feel the port with no problem and every once in a while I can see a small egg like shape if I stare really hard but never through clothes and honestly its not obvious at all.

I have zero belly fat, which means my port is right below the skin...looks like a golf ball!

Can't post pix from the hospital, maybe when I get home tonight.....

well i havent lost no where near as my heros b52 or floridas, but the little i have lost, i have noticed a hard spot just beginning to make itself known. i myself am not too concerned as i dont think ole hef is gonna return my call anytime soon......i kinda like knowing its there.

I can definitely notice mine more and I'm still not done losing. When I was first banded, I couldn't even feel it if I pushed around. Now, I can see it when I tighten my tummy and simply look down. (with no shirt on, not through clothes)

I honestly don't care, even if it shows more in the months to come. I figure it's like a little badge of honor "Look! I've lost so much tummy fat you can see my port!"

I argee with Mis73....even though I have no room to talk since I do not have my band yet. Right now I would be happy to see something under my skin...I just have fluff right now

B-52 No belly fat! That's wonderful

I have a question - how long are you swollen for after the surgery?

Looked like half a golfbll under my skin and you could see some tubing too. I gad it repositioned to be in that natural pad of contouring round the belly button rather than o the side where I am more hollow - its still visible but only as a vague lump.

I can feel my port almost constantly now, but I can't see it yet.

I can feel it, but can't see it. If you have plastics later they can change it out for a smaller one.

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences

Jachut- that's interesting that u were able to see the port and tubing. Omg!

I sure hope my port will be unobtrusive... I asked my doc and he said that there's a possibility that it'll show/stick out, but I guess there's no point in woRrying now when I can't do anything about it anyways

After nearly 80 pounds loss, I can feel my port and a small bump. Not an issue to me.

Ladies, do you find that you have issues wearing tight tops?

I would hate to have a great body but have to worry about having to wear loose tops due to the noticeable bump

Yes my port shows through tight tops.... It really doesn't bother me. The other day my son gave me s hug and felt it, and said "yucky what's that?" I said... "oh mommy must have a big pimple"... Lol and he left it at that!

I cant wait to wear a tight top and have the only bulge be my port, not my rolls or back fat!!
