I think that my port is very close to my skin - perhaps more so than normal. I feel it very clearly and hart when I touch it and when I bend over, it hurts like it's pinching me. I'm only one week post op, but I hope this feeling will go away, it's annoying. Also, I've been reading that Drs. can't find the ports for the fills? I could fill mine myself, it's that clearly palpable.

I have a port that you can almost see and i have only been banded a month. I can feel it when i lean forward and rollover. I do not have a lot of fat near my ribs (near the port) so figure it has no where to hide. lol

I am getting used to the feeling it is not painful anymore. I too could do my own fill.

Cant tell you if it is right or not but figure it would help to know you are not alone.

My port is quite easy to find, I've never had to have a fluoro for fills. My doc can find it with no problem. It's funny, some days you can almost see it and others not, but I can always feel where it is.

my port is very deep. I have to have fluoro fills. Sometimes, as the dr sits the xray table up after putting the needle in, it pops out! I hate it!

I just had surgery yesterday and I fell like its sticking out.
