Port Visiblity

Hey,

i am a couple weeks out from my surgery date and getting nervous. i have all of these thoughts in my mind!!! the big one now that i REALLY need someone to answer for me is.. what the heck does the port feel like after you loose your weight? im sure i wont feel it while im overweight, but when my body gets to a normal body fat percentage will it be clearly visible under my skin?? will i ever be able to wear a bikini to the beach without people staring? i realize that i will probably feel it forever inside of me, but i dont it want to be noticable to other people. Can someone tell me if it will be???

thanks a ton,

:help:

Lauren

Hi all,

I had my surgery on the 28th. My stomach is finally going down from all the saline I guess, but getting up and down from the bed and sometimes from chairs really hurts around my port area. Is that normal?

NJB-FW:help:

Totally normal, will probably be sore when getting up or down or bending or twisting for weeks to come.

thanks now what about PB'ing? hope i'm not bugging you

Here's a link, the FAQ and References (where this is from) forum holds LOADS of good information:

Lol, I've just posted this photo here in 2 different posts. But I'm at about 28% body fat, and you cant see my port. YOu can feel it easily but you cant see it.
