Can you feel/see your port?

[Humming Bird 275]

I can feel my port, but can't see it. It's located in the center of my torso about 1-2" below my sternum. My BMI is 24 now, so I'm pretty sure the port is in a good place where it won't show if I drop a few more pounds. It doesn't really creep me out at this point. It is kind of like having an extra little body part that I'm used to now.

I was just telling my surgeon during my fill yesterday that my port is great for my posture - I can feel it when I am slouching, and since it kind of creeps me out, I tend not to slouch anymore! He laughed

My doc uses low profile ports as a general rule. I am too scared to try to feel it under my skin - I think it might freak me out! I definitely can't see it but I still have 70 pounds to lose.

Right now my port is about the size of an egg about 3 inches above my belly button. I can feel it, I can see it, and it sort of creeps me out. Doc said that the lump will go away some. Hrrrrmmm... I guess I didn't read enough to understand how this works. There aren't any parts sticking out of me. Hahaha! I think it's something I'll get used to, though the hernia is right to the left of it, so I have to be careful.

No worries man, it's all part of the deal.

Hi Everyone! Thanks for all the great responses...glad to hear others can feel and see the port. And that some are a little creeped out. I agree its a small price to pay for getting healthy. I only had the surgery about 6 weeks ago so maybe i'll get used to it.
