What's the port like at goal weight.

I am only six days post surgery and I can definitely feel my port - so I cant imagine that it is too deeply placed inside. Now I am wondering if it will be vey obvious when I lose more weight. But ven more worrisom is - if it is so uncomfortable now - when I lose more weight will it be even more uncomfortable - OUCH!!!! extremely nervous?!

I just got banded but I had a full Tummy Tuck with Lipo on my entire abdominal area so my stomach is completely flat. Only a thin layer of fat between skin and muscle.

Dr. Ortiz uses only mini ports so I have not bulge, but may after the swelling goes down. When I push in though, it feels flat.

How hilarious to see this post after so long - I can answer my own question now, lol.

I can feel it easily, I cant see it unless I'm lying down on my back and my stomach is FLAT!!! Yay, no rolls, no sags, no evidence of 3 babies.

my dr told me if the skin gets thin enough that you can see the port when towards goal weight, he would switch the head of it with the flat one so that it's invisible again. The reason they don't start out with the flat head is because they have to be able to find it when we are not so size 2. So keep sculpting away on those washboard abs!
