port awareness?

At what point did you stop being so aware of your port? I'm 2 weeks post-op and feel it all the time. It's still hard to wash my feet when I shower because when I bend over, I can feel the port move and it gives me the creeps. I had an appointment today and was told that some people will always feel it, while others with start to "forget" that it's there.

Just curious of your experiences. Thanks!

I know in the beginning I was very aware of the port. Mostly because I am a belly sleeper and had to sleep 'unnaturally' to avoid damaging the port site. But in time I stopped focusing on it. However, 3 years later and at goal I can feel my port more. Some ppl lose so much weight that the port just sticks out from under the skin, hard to miss ey? lol You'll notice as you lose weigh that your port may migrate towards midline. I am more conscientious of my port because it's easier to palpate nowadays
