Ok folks,

Has this happened to anyone? I am 12 days post op and it is completely obvious where my port it becasue it sticks out! It's not noticable unless your looking at my bare belly - but still.... Mybe it's still swollen?

Just asking.

Michele

You shouldnt be swollen there after 12 days, perhaps the doctor didnt make a big enough pocket for it...

Wait a few more days then make an appointment with your surgeon

I am 9 weeks post op and my port is very prominent. It is more even with the skin but I can touch it and feel it. It is my buddy!!! No pain.

You should talk to your doc. Your port may have flipped. Have you every felt a pain or a pop at the site?
