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 my port, which is rather hard. It's an interesting feeling. I tell people who know about my surgery, to touch it, then they'll say, "eww, what is that", then I laugh and have to explain the port thing.

I talked to MariposaBella (estella) about this. She is close to goal weight and I think she said she may need surgery to replace the port so u cant see it. Was this u Estella? Pipe in and give ur 2 cents. We all know I suffer from CRS .............................(cant remember shit) so I really shouldnt be talking for u. Im sure the conversation is probably not quite how I remember it if it was even u I had it with! lol

I can feel mine. The more weight I lose, the easier it is to feel.

That said, I could feel mine right after surgery, but then couldn't for about 3 months. Not sure if fat was relocating or what, but don't sweat it. They can always do fills under flouro.

i can feel my port and it is directly beneath my incision

I can feel my port when I am standing up and everything falls down (damn gravity) my doctor says there are different ways to position your body so they can find the port and of course as we lose weight it will get progressivly easier. Good luck to you

I can feel my port, but after my first fill it feels weird... By weird I meen not the same???? Hard to describe..

I can feel mine but it freaked me out to do so for some time. I am over a year out and can still locate it very easily, in fact I have let my massage therapy guy, my chriopractor and my guy friend all feel my port. What fun! T

Crap, I had already responded to this and I erased my message by mistake...

My port sticks out, partly because of the weight loss, but mostly because it is flipped. I apparently lost one of the stitches and it will now need to be stitched back into place. It will however, cost me $1000 to fix, so I am putting it off for right now. (That is, until all your donations, start coming in, LOL) No, reallly it is not interfering with fills, so I will leave it alone for now. The area stays bruised because it pokes out, but it doesn't hurt. You can't really see it under my shirt if I am standing up, if I lay down it really pokes out, but oh well for $1000 it can poke out all it wants. So start sending all your extra change my way, we will start the poking out port fund... LOL he, h eee,

well talk to you girls later..

I We all know I suffer from CRS .............................

Oh my gosh, there is a name for what I've got!!!

Which is why I like Zoe's quote so much (see sig). It isn't meaness, and it isn't even stupidity, really, it's CRS!

I can feel my port. I check to make sure it's still round and smooth under the skin, yep, it is.

Yep, I can feel mine only when standing but the doctor couldnt hit it to give me my fill so now its off to fluoro for me.

I can't feel mine and my surgeon can't either. I always have to get my fills under fluro.

but it is to the right of my incission about 2 inches.
