Calling All "Outies"

[Surby 1]

OK, so some of you have probably read about my dilemmas.......the throwing up, etc. I was told Thursday that just by looking at how my port is "protruding" that it could be a problem there. The PA told me that some people's ports always protrude, SO.......I'd love to hear how many of you have the PP (protruding port). Mine is right at my bra line in the center, and it feels like there's an egg under there. Anyone else????

Mine does when I eat. It's a little gross actually. But never has been a "problem" for me. I just won't eat a lot when wearing my string bikini!

Mine is several inches below the bra line neatly tucked away beneath adipose (fat) tissue. LOL. Keep us posted on what your surgeon decides.

Hmmm, I have an interesting visual of Jack in a thong now.

I guess you would call mine an "innie" because you can't see it. That may change as the weight comes off though.

Hmm, mine is definitely easily felt, a hard lump, cant see it yet though and I dont have much more to lose. But its nowehre near as big as an egg.

My port tipped a little after surgey and the edge causes it to protrude. It doesn't bother me one bit. Dr says he can fix it but as long as he has no trouble getting into it I am happy. My old belly protruded much farther.

I lay down and try to feel for my port and it is nowhere to be found. I'm kinda scared.

OOOOH! TELLY! What if all you have are scars and no hardware? That would mean your weight loss and nifty waist were all on your own!

I think the band has played a psychological part mostly. However I have felt restriction at that TOM. All in all, I think the weight loss has been mostly me on my own. I've not had a fill yet. I scheduled one for Sept. 15th though. I'm afraid that they won't find my port as I can no longer locate a "buldge" where the port would have been.

I've recently spotted an obese male at Wet N' Wild, wearing a bright cherry apple red thong. His gut hung over the thong like an overfilled ice cream cone. Kids that surrounded him had fear in them. Mothers covered their childrens eyes. My husbands brow..arched. My son, boisterously giggling. I for one enjoyed the free spirited guy who thought he was the choice piece of ass this side of the town.

Can't see or feel mine, Dr. couldn't feel it when palpitating for fills either, thankfully he knows just where it is, and all the fills have hit the port bang on regardless. I'm only just starting out though, who knows it may emerge down the weight loss road.

LMAO!!!! Thanks for the visual better than that I like your commentary!

[Telly 4]

LOL gonnabethin, it was a very funny moment in my day. Just the word "thong" will forever send me back to that cherry apple red thong.

My port is also very protrusive and easily felt. It is a lump visible thru my shirt if I wear a tight fitting Tshirt. I hope to get a low profile port when I am at goal.
