I'm having my second fill at the end of the month and can't feel my port. When I had my first fill I could feel it, and it was still a fairly unpleasant experience with a couple of goes and some digging around.

If I can't feel it, can the doctor?

I'm interested to know how many people can feel theirs.

Thanks, Rachel.

I can feel mine, but only when I lay down on my back and feel for it.

I can feel mine.

I have had 1 fill and I can feel my port.

I can feel mine

No fill for me, and I can feel my port

I have had one fill-i still can feel mine

I'm 8 days post-op and I can feel my port, could me from the swelling. I call it my alien baby LOL. I sure hope it doesn't show through my skin when I lose weight! I'm down 8 lbs already woohoo!

I can fell mine. I try to make make husband touch it, but it grosses him out!

I dont have a fill yet, I can feel my port. Actually I can still see it pop out.. Like under my skin, not "really" popping out... you know what I mean... hehe

Yes, I can feel mine, the whole outline of it.

I can also feel my port(with a degree of pushing of course). I am on my second fill. My surgeon hasn't had a problem with hitting it. It may be the nurse in me, but I still think it's pretty cool when I feel the "tink" when he gets to the bottom of the port during a fill.. Boy am I weird...

I have a question too. I feel something right where my port incision is located. It is hard and I thought it was the port. Some people on this forum said the port would not be where your incision is located. My doctor said it would be near my rib. I am going for my follow up today and I will ask him to show me where it is. Thought someone could give me feedback sooner though.

Hi Angiebell, I used Dr. Powell too and my port is right under my port incision as well. I have my post-op appointment next Tuesday the 24th.

Thanks, that makes me feel better because I thought that it might be scar tissue. I appreciate your quick response.

My port is directly under my scar, and I can definately feel it. When I was newly post op, my mom felt it and thought it was a little hematoma under there, but it's Mr. Port. I can't tell it's there just by looking in the mirror or anything (accept for the scar of course), but I can feel it with little effort.

Your doctor probably knows where he put it, which will help him find it. And I know when I lay down for my fills my doc pushes REALLY hard on it (probably testing position). If they have trouble finding it though, they can always do the fill under flouro.
