I was just banded last Tuesday. The port is easy to feel and you could tell there is a little bit of a bump there. Does this show more an more as you lose weight? I am already down 22 lbs between my pre op diet and first week still on clear liquids. I am wondering what the port will look like as I go on considering it is already noticeable.

Mine has stayed about the same, but I am only down 30 pounds. I am also down 6 inches overall, but it has not become any more prominent as that has changed.

I'm down 25 pounds, and can't see the port through my skin. I can certainly feel it when I press that area, though.

I've read posts of people saying that their ports visually stick out. I also know that there are two types of ports; the standard one (which is mostly done at the time of surgery), and now they have a low profile port. I've known a couple of people who had their ports changed to a low profile, after they'd lost all of their weight.

I think it also depends where the port is placed. Mine is about 1/2 inch below my belly button, and off to the left. He strategically placed it there, based on my anatomy. I can't imagine seeing it stick out there, but time will tell.

I lost almost 80 lbs and all I can see is the brown scare from it.

Same here, down 80+ and just a scars line. I can feel it if I try, but it is not noticeable.

I can only feel it, but if I kinda bend down a little bit and to the side it moves a little bit, LOL.

I'm probably still swollen from the surgery.
