Can anyone else feel their Ports?



Recommended Posts

I can see mine sticking out some. I had my surgery on 10/5. I am just wondering if I need to lose more weight before it is hidden, or if it will always be sticking out. It is flat but you can see the raised section under my skin where it is. Just curious.

Hi:

Can't see it, but it feels like I have a flat rock under my skin. My port is just below my rib cage in the middle.

Good luck.

I can feel mine if I am standing up. I can see mine when I am laying down. I have lost about 130 pounds. The more weight you loose the more you can see it. My port is located below my ribcage and with the laws of gravity the flabby skin and fat I need to loose all hang down. The thing that really freaked me out was when I could actually feel my sternum (chest bone0 :>

Shhh,

I was banded on the 2nd, I dont Know if its the port I'm seeing but the area the port is is larger than the rest of my stomich, It seems quite strange to me I've lost about 25 lbs and that one spot, does not seem much smaller than it was before the surgury although I've lost weight right below the port sight.

Hope this helps

Jim

Hello! I was banded on October 22. I tried to feel my port while lying down. I checked the whole belly area, but I couldn't feel anything. My BMI is not very high, so there is not THAT much fat there. ( I have about 40 pounds lose.)

I just want to be reassured that the port IS there somewhere!

Thanks for any response! So happy to be banded and to start my journey! Good luck to you all!:clap2:

That is exactly what I have. I have also lost around the same amount of weight. I guess we will have to wait & see.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
