I'm a lil over 2 weeks out and was wondering is it normal that I do not feel my port , I'm sore around the site but when I press I don't feel it lol am I suppose to ?

I can only feel mine if I lay down...guess it depends on how deep it is....congrats on your surgery!!! I am four weeks out today

It's very normal because it's covered by fat. When I was first banded, I had to lay down and raise my legs (or try to anyway lol) to try to make it bump a little so it wasn't so hard for the doctor to find.

Now, after losing over 200 pounds, it sticks out all the time.

Best wishes.

Yeah it honestly doesn't bug me. I kinda see it as my badge of weight loss success

I'm wearing a form fitting sweater today and if you stare right at it, you can see it through the fabric, but honestly you'd never know it was there unless you were looking for it.

I can feel mine, but it's not that deep. I had lost over 170 pounds prior to my surgery and the doctor said that was why. They said many are in as far as 4 inches, but mine can be felt quite easily.

I'm so with you on that.... My port doesn't stick out (yet), but when I feel it, I feel this weird sense of security. Like....my little helper is with me all the time
