Why is my port area like this?

Okay,

Need your opinions again. My port feels like it is sticking out. I mean it's not sore very much and my incision looks almost like it's not there, (I'll post a pic when dh gets home and takes it) but I mean it looks to me like it's sticking out.

Did any of yours do this. I'm eating more now. Still just puddings and yogurts but lots more, weight loss has stopped but I got a good head start and love your recipe p'nut, thanks. I don't know when I'll get the guts to eat real food, I have this thing about pbing and I'm petrified.

I'm sure I'll get over it, just wondered about my port.

My port incision stood up for about a month post-op. I was just sure it was my port and that something had gone wrong.

When I went in for my first fill I was SHOCKED to learn that my port wasn't even close to the port incision! I was sure I had been feeling it all along. ...scar tissue... The real port was almost 6 inches lower!

In my case, the popped-up port and pregnancy stomach was just swelling and went away with time and lots of Water.

Glad you aren't hurting much.

My port sticks out alot. Some days you can actually see it and can touch it, other days you have to look for it. Mine is right at the incision because that is where my doc injects the saline. I don't know why it does this. My doctor says he hasn't had anyone else tell him this. There is no pain, so I just don't worry about it.
