Weird Question

This is random but do the ports every show after weight loss? And if so how often does this occur?

Yes when you lose enough belly fat the port will probably show. I was banded years ago and got really thin and my port showed. It even showed through a bathing suit and people would ask. I avoided the questions. Then I started to date and was really self-conscience of the port sticking out. I eventually got the band out but gained all the weight back. Now I am recently banded again but have a new positive outlook on the band. I have not lost much weight, now at 163 pounds, and my port is slightly showing. I am prepared for people's questions and I will now proudly say I have the band. I will be thin again and this port is going to show even more. I am ready to tell anyone that I have a lap band. I know what it is like without the band and that life was miserable. We are all brave to get banded so I hope you learn to accept the port showing as a sign of your bravery. I have read that not all people's port's show as much as my first one did. My first port was just under my breast's and as I said it stuck out like a broken rib. Now my port is just above my belly button where I will retain more body fat. I hope this helps with your post.

I lost 170lbs and my port shows through tight clothes. I'm having a TT in a month and I'm having my port moved it's still sore after a yr as it feels like it's knocking off my ribs. It does bother me that it's visible but not as much as weighing 350lb bothered me.

Thanks for the answers. It had never crossed my mind until today. And it really isn't that big of a deal. It also never occurred that the port could be moved.
