Hard Lump Near AccessPort

[g0rbinx 1]

I'm about 3 months post-op and I had my first fill about a month ago, going for my second fill next tuesday. I have been noticing the area near my access port has been more sore than usual for the last week or so. I tried to feel around to see if I could pin-point the pain so I could tell my doctor. I noticed my access port felt like it was really high up, like a few inches above where it normally is and I freaked out a little bit and felt around some more. Then I felt where my access port actually is and I realized that I have a small round lump about the size of my access port just a few inches above it. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? My friend who is a nurse said it might be scar tissue but it's not really near my incision sites. It's not near my stomach either. My port is located to the left and slightly above my belly button and this bump is a few inches above that. Any experience in this area would ease my anxiety until tuesday!

Probably is scar tissue but I would call..Never hurts to double check.

Absolutely agree, scar tissue.

my doctor snuggled my port into a fat bed or tissue. this has created a small lump about 2 inches in size and I can feel my port right in the middle of it. especially now that I have lost over 75 lbs.

Thanks everyone! I will definitely ask but I feel a lot less freaked out about it now

I've noticed since I have lost weight my port has become more noticeable to me and if if I push it a bit it does have a dull ache. Funny, I can remember when I was real big I had a hard time finding it.
