Port moving?

Is it normal for your port to move? It use to be below my incision and now it's above and feels bigger?

How much weight have you lost? I noticed mine "moved" after losing about 50 lbs. It didn't really move, it's just that my skin got a little looser and it seemed to move. If you've lost alot of weight, it may be that. It's stitched to the muscle, so I don't think it can actually move. After you lose more weight, it'll become more pronounced also. Mine looks like a little alien coming out of my tummy. My husband calls it my "contraption".

I've only lost 30 pounds I think its my body trying to figure out how to hold its self up and my muscle is tightening up? From exercising I'm not to sure!

Port should not move unless it comes loose. If it seems to move around as you press beside it, call your doctor!

My port is about five inches above the lowest incision... doesn't seem to be moving. And it is very pronounced.

Most of the people that work at my office has said that their port has moved since surgery. With your body changing everything's adjusting and repositioning she said. Kinda worried kinda not.

My port is in the same place but the incision has moved about 2.5 inches with weight loss.
