Port Sites....are they ugly ?



Recommended Posts

I don't have a huge belly either, but he put it in the most perfect spot. I can't see it, feel or or anything. Tonight I put my faire bodice on and laced it up TIGHT and it didn't hurt at all. I was so excited. I'm starting to wonder if he didn't put a low profile port in me because I actually asked for one and he said he'd see how it looked when he got in there, but I never asked him after that, so maybe I'll ask him again. When I push on the port site I can barely feel it.. I'm surprised the fill center lady actually found it to stick me.

NO, you can't see mine at all or feel it. But my dr. did put a smaller port in when I had revision surgery in November 07. The fill dr always has a problem finding it unless he/she is very experienced.

Where I was banded, we were able to select whether we wanted a regular port or a low-profile port - however, the low profile port was about $1000 more (if I'm remembering correctly).

Hi,

I have had the band a LONG time and i don't have a problem, i do tend to fiddle with it which i wouldn't recommend cause i did flip it over once lmao that was funny the doctor was trying to stick the needle in and it would go cause i had flipped it right over. It did flip itself back though!

Anyways, the port doesnt stick out really the only way you can see it is when i am litterally bending over backwards and then it stick out a little, my last bf didnt even know it was there until he felt it.

And it doesnt cause problems with sex either, unless you do something i dont know about.

I have mine on the left side of my belly button and i think its good there because the skin isnt as sensitive for when they jab you for an adjustment.

Yep my port definately sticks out, it is on my slimmest part of me the waist, but i suppose none see it. i would rather be getting slim with a bump, rather than being one big big bump.

Bel, in 7 years, how many times have you had fills? Do you ever reach a spot where it's "just perfect" and you maintain? Just wondering!

You can't see my port but you can feel it. It does get sensitive with certain sexual positions. But keep in mind there are at least 3 - 5 common port placement sites, and which you have will have a lot to do with it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
