Port question

Does anyone ever feel like the area where the port is feels tender? I am 3 months out and today the spot where the port is approximately located feels a little tender now and then. And I feel it very easily to the touch. Freaking me out. Supposed to have 2nd fill tomorrow. Worried something's wrong. Down 56 pounds. Any advice or knowledge? TIA

I am two months out and mine kinda freaks me out, too. I posted earlier today that It bothers me when I exercise. It is uncomfortable to the touch but not to just sit around.

Yes mine seems to be tender too. I can feel it very easily. When I lean against things I can feel it. I think leaning over the washer bothers it and makes it a little tender. Good reason not to do laundry,lol. I had a fill so far and no problems.

Thanks. Maybe its normal. I ll ask doc tomorrow. I was doing a lot of lifting today and also seem yo be very gassy too. Sorry for TMI. :)

It is very normal for the port area to be site months later. It talked a little longer to heal because its attached to a muscle. Definitely mention it to you doctor because they know best.

Mine is tender if I lean against something.....like the washer! I have noticed more tenderness above the port incision. It is more in the muscle above the port. It even feels kind of hard sometimes. Another question for the doctor when I go back next week!
