  • Is the port site swollen or are you just feeling the port itself. On many people it does protrude, which generally means it will be easy to find for fills.

Well I can always feel it, with no problem at all..but last night it just seemed more prominent than usual!! Maybe I was just moving around more or bending more which made it seem swollen..it just worried me but its better now!!
