After losing lots of weight, does anyone have issues with their port showing?



Recommended Posts

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

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' date=' 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?[/quote']

I am down below my goal weight ( I weigh 123 lbs) and I cannot see my port. It bothers ne sometimes, depending on what I wear...feels like my belts rub up against it when I sit.

Mine noticeably protrudes however my Dr will be replacing it for a thinner and flatter version to suit my now flat tummy.

My doctor is Dr. Lee Au of Beverly Hills. ')

I carry my weight on my bottom half and have little belly fat so I could see my port right away like half an egg sticking out. I don't like it. It doesn't cause me anxiety, but once I get to my goal weight my doctor said he would put in a flat one. It's good though cos its become a goal for me and it motivates me to stay on track and get thin!

I don't much feel like wearing tight tops just yet with my fat arms and muffin top/ back fat hehe

When I do it's good to know there will be options.

I have the Realize band that has a flat port and is positioned differently that the lapband. I can feel it but can't see it even if I lay down and put my arms over my head!

I can see and feel mine too. Not to bad yet. Have lost 87 lbs so far. If it becomes a problem I think the Dr. Can fix the problem

This is funny that I just saw this topic. I finally got the courage up to add an avatar to my profile just a few minutes ago. When picking out a picture I noticed that my port shows in several of them. The avatar is small so its hard to see but in the original it is quite apparent. I was wearing a thin tight shirt on a rainy day so it was stuck to my skin and made it show more but mine does show on occasion depending upon what I wear. I have never gotten any comments about it though.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
