I had surgery 2 weeks ago and I was feeling my port scar a few days ago and i have a huge lump under it! Im wondering if my port may have moved, because at my post op appointment the RN told me it was bellow and to the left of the scar and I was bearly able to feel it then. Now the lump feels the size of a ummmmm say silver dollar but much thicker and im a bit concerned....could the port have moved? Was the nurse wrong? Could it just be a lot of scar tissue? I have no clue and I figured one of you super nice people could fill me in on what this may be.

Holy shmoly!! 97cc's???? What is that like 9.7 completely full bands worth???!!!! Ha Ha. WOW! I bet you did lose a pound! It sounds like you're feeling better now so that's good news. Thanks for the update!

Found this thread and thought I would chime in even though this convo took place a long time ago. I also have a huge knot under my port scar, it is about the size of a large golf ball. It came about a week after surgery and is still here 9 months later. It hasn't been a issue for me except worry some until lately. The issue is that before my port was about 1 1/2 inches below the knot, now it is RIGHT UNDER the knot. They think it's just scar tissue, but now they are having to go THROUGH it to give me fills. They say it is really difficult to push the needle through the thickness of it, and now it's like they are agitating it and it is starting to hurt. I have talked to the doctors office about it and they dont seem to be concerned, just said since I was 20lbs from goal that when i get there i would probably want to have it removed and put a low profile port in. Does scar tissue hurt? I wonder if it can cause problems for my port. I am very concerned but think i may just be over reacting? Any words of wisdom?
