Port Question??

[texzen123 0]

If (wishful thing) a person is very successful in getting very lean (hoping one day to see my 6 pack.. I know it's there, just hidden..lol) will the fill port be grossly visible? Just curious, I get banded next week.. If so, I can live with it since the fat will be gone, but I would like to go shirtless every now and then if successful.

Thanks so much for the wisdom.

My doc said that the way he does surgery he places it so it won't be seen/felt, but said that it's harder to do with men as they tend to ultimately have less subcutaneous (sp) fat (meaning fat between the skin and the muscle). It just depends, ask your Dr where he places the port. I can't feel mine at all- not even sure where it is yet, I'll find out Monday when I get my first fill!!

Doctors do there port sites differently, my doc who did the operation also does my fills, so he put the port on the left next to my belly button, i can feel it, it's kinda odd pulling feeling, and if I put my finger in my belly button I can feel the actual port, it's so weird, at least I know it's in there! Getting fills are awesome! It's a really odd thing, it doesn't hurt, just a kind of pulling feeling and a few popping noises I've been banded since September last year, it's been great so far!

Oh and I have a small bump where the port is, it's only little so you can't really tell!
