banded3-14-13 10 Posted May 18, 2013 Where my port is, it is clearly protruding outside of my stomach like a lump...anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted May 18, 2013 Very normal. Its simply sitting under your skin and once the fat is gone it can become very visible, When i had my Tummy Tuck, my plastic surgeon moved mine and took the back off it to reduce its profile, its now much closer to my belly button where there is a natural contour, and barely visible even though i have a very flat stomach and liw body fat. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
labwalker 1,177 Posted May 18, 2013 Yep. As the weight comes off, I can feel it more and more. I suspect it will be visible (bump) as I progress towards goal. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GinaT228 9 Posted May 19, 2013 I was banded on the 13th and mine is protruding as well. Mine is located about 2 1/2 to 3 inches below the center of my breasts. I'm thankful for having it and proud of it. Just hate that it's so '' out there''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rbmk14 59 Posted May 19, 2013 Aw this is kind of a bummer! I'm not yet banded but like many was looking forward to being able to sport a bikini in a couple years and if the port's that visible I guess that won't be happening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
