I'm pretty close to goal and I can feel my port, but I have been able to all along though now it is more prominent and I don't have to feel around for it. My surgeon automatically put a low profile port in, so no, it won't poke out like the normal ones once I am at my goal weight.

Mine is getting harder to feel...I think it's tearing away from the abdominal wall, but I'm still losing weight.

I have always been able to feel mine, and like you I always have to feel it lol I hope that I wont be able to see it once im at goal, they also gave me a low profile port at surgery because they place it close to the ribs, I always lose weight first in m upper body, above the wast, boobs n belly hahha so i specificlly asked for one but everyone is different, my friend can only see hers if she moves just right.

I can feel mine, but even now, 8 weeks post Tummy Tuck, I can't see it. And, that was the second thing I looked at when I took off the bandages! I have a low profile port, and it's placed just to my left of center just above my belly button (which is SOOO cute now).

Congrats on the new belly button! :(

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
