It's very normal because it's covered by fat. When I was first banded, I had to lay down and raise my legs (or try to anyway lol) to try to make it bump a little so it wasn't so hard for the doctor to find.

Now, after losing over 200 pounds, it sticks out all the time.

Best wishes.

Yeah it honestly doesn't bug me. I kinda see it as my badge of weight loss success :)

I'm wearing a form fitting sweater today and if you stare right at it, you can see it through the fabric, but honestly you'd never know it was there unless you were looking for it.

I can feel mine, but it's not that deep. I had lost over 170 pounds prior to my surgery and the doctor said that was why. They said many are in as far as 4 inches, but mine can be felt quite easily.

I'm so with you on that.... My port doesn't stick out (yet), but when I feel it, I feel this weird sense of security. Like....my little helper is with me all the time :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
