After losing lots of weight, does anyone have issues with their port showing?

[Lapbandster 496]

Just wondering if I should be worried about my port showing a bump under my skin (or being noticeable at all)

So far I dont see it at all, but I can very easily feel it under my skin. Like it feels really close to showing

Anyone have any experiences?

How easily can you guys feel your ports?

i can feel the port with no problem and every once in a while I can see a small egg like shape if I stare really hard but never through clothes and honestly its not obvious at all.

I have zero belly fat, which means my port is right below the skin...looks like a golf ball!

Can't post pix from the hospital, maybe when I get home tonight.....

I can definitely notice mine more and I'm still not done losing. When I was first banded, I couldn't even feel it if I pushed around. Now, I can see it when I tighten my tummy and simply look down. (with no shirt on, not through clothes)

I honestly don't care, even if it shows more in the months to come. I figure it's like a little badge of honor "Look! I've lost so much tummy fat you can see my port!"

I argee with Mis73....even though I have no room to talk since I do not have my band yet. Right now I would be happy to see something under my skin...I just have fluff right now

B-52 No belly fat! That's wonderful

I have a question - how long are you swollen for after the surgery?

[Jachut 487]

Looked like half a golfbll under my skin and you could see some tubing too. I gad it repositioned to be in that natural pad of contouring round the belly button rather than o the side where I am more hollow - its still visible but only as a vague lump.

I can feel my port almost constantly now, but I can't see it yet.

I can feel it, but can't see it. If you have plastics later they can change it out for a smaller one.

[Lapbandster 496]

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences

Jachut- that's interesting that u were able to see the port and tubing. Omg!

I sure hope my port will be unobtrusive... I asked my doc and he said that there's a possibility that it'll show/stick out, but I guess there's no point in woRrying now when I can't do anything about it anyways

After nearly 80 pounds loss, I can feel my port and a small bump. Not an issue to me.

[Lapbandster 496]

Ladies, do you find that you have issues wearing tight tops?

I would hate to have a great body but have to worry about having to wear loose tops due to the noticeable bump

[JennyBee 340]

Yes my port shows through tight tops.... It really doesn't bother me. The other day my son gave me s hug and felt it, and said "yucky what's that?" I said... "oh mommy must have a big pimple"... Lol and he left it at that!
