Can you see your port?

I have a huge fear of being able to see the port after you get down to a certain weight. Can you see your's standing or laying down?...Nervous about this...

First of all you can ask for a low profile port. If it still sticks out once you reach a certain weight you can have your port moved.

My port was noticeable ( though no one ever asked) but I had it moved under my muscles. Now I can't tell where it is unless I lie down and poke around. There is still dead space you can see in photos if you look at my stomach but it doesn't look that bad.

Yes, its very obvious but it doesnt worry me.

I can see where my port is when I look in the mirror, but I don't think most people stare at my stomach long enough during the relatively few times it is on display (when I'm in my bathing suit) to notice anything. I can definitely FEEL it much better now that I've surpassed goal weight, and it is sometimes uncomfortable to lay on my stomach.

I'm hoping to lose just a few more pounds and more body fat, and it will be more noticeable then, but I don't think it will be too bad, at least not in comparison to how my stomach looked before I lost weight. I might look into the low profile port at some point for comfort's sake; my doctor only offers that as a revision after weight loss.

You can't see mine, but you can feel it if you press around....it isn't uncomfortable for me and I forget it is there.

Are was told there is 2 different sizes ....is the smaller one the "low profile port"? I guess I need to talk to the DR about this because I'm concerned that it will show and I don't want that to be something new that I would be comfortable with.

Thanks!

My port sticks out but isn't noticeable over my clothes. It's uncomfortable especially if I lay on my stomach but I deal with it and jokingly call it my tumor.

I'm the same.

I can see it very visibly but no matter how much I lose I know my tummy area will never be seen in public, ever.... so if it doesn't bother me I won't bother it.

Yes, I can see my port--standing, lying down, bending over... But I don't mind. It's a little lump--my husband says it looks like a little alien growing inside. Ha ha! I actually think it's kind of cool--in a wierd way, I know--I can move it around in different ways when I tighten/loosen different ab muscles. But, even at my highest weight, I never really had any fat on my upper abdomen (I'm quite pear-shaped), so now I really don't have any weight on my upper abdomen! No one can see it under clothes--even under a one-piece swimsuit it's not visible (but it is with a bikini). If you carry weight on your upper abdomen, you probably will never see your port (if they only could have buried my port somewhere in my a**!) I wouldn't let the possibility of seeing your port stop you from getting the band. Seeing the port's really not worth a second thought. Plus fills and unfills are really easy for my doctor! Good luck!
