Where is your port at? Mine's in my belly button on the bottom and i can feel and see it now that my belly went down :) But i dont feel it pulling?

I'm 2 and 1/2 weeks post op. I feel the port pulling, whe I bend at the waist. Is this normal and will it always be like this?

Maybe that is why my doctor said no bending for the first month?? Who knows, but I sure have learned to use my toes to pick things off the floor! My port is just below a big scar from one of my gall bladder surgeries (long story) so it is not that noticeable to me. Have a great day!

I am almost 7 months out and I feel the port all the time...Especially when I work out and stretching before..Weird feeling but you get used to it. Hope this helped :-)

Good to know I have been feeling it during spinning lately thought I did something wrong :)

What do you mean no bending for a month?

What other rules have I missed? Yikes

For the first month or so post op, I could feel my port when I bent over. Hard to explain the feeling, kind of a pulling, but not really.

In any case, it is totally normal and went away at 4 weeks or so. I can't feel it al all now (unless I'm digging for it!)
