You can see the scar and feel it if you push at the spot. It feels wierd! Some people say that after a big loss that they can see it sticking out a little. Some have it replaced with a low profile port if this happens.

TRYSTELLE,

This has nothing to do with your post. I just happened to notice that you had your surgery July 13th and you lost 79lbs already???? Is that right? That is wonderful! What is your secret? I haven't been banded yet but I plan to get it done in March.

Don't feel silly, a lot of people have asked me if my port is visible from the outside. One person even asked me if there was a hole from the outside of my belly into my insides, like a trach in your throat or something! Just like trystelle said...I am almost a year and a half out but I can still see the scar from the outside but otherwise no one will be able to tell you have a port by looking at you. Someone even asked me if my port/band sets off airport scanners...it doesn't!

I see the scar, and if I push in, I can feel the port, but I cannot see the port.

You will be able to go swimming after the incisions from surgery are healed.

Fills are like any injections, sometimes they hurt, but most don't.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
