I can feel my port too., just below my rib. I think the soreness is from the sutures that hold it in place. I'm a month post op and the soreness is getting better. I'm thinking we are just more sensitive to the port being there. I heard it can flip, but if you follow your docs instructions about the first month, like not lifting more than 5 pounds, no bending over, etc., you should be fine. Also, most docs are aware f the flip problem and suture it carefully in place now!
