High port placement

[BandedSister_Lizz 22]

Hi everyone,

I'm really sad and freaking out. I was just able to feel my port without really having to press down much. I'm afraid my port was placed too high and you will be able to see it even at such an early stage in my weight loss ( surgery 1 week ago). I've been crying all morning is this really my port I'm feeling? Is this normal ? My sister has lap band And she has to press down two or three inches to feel her port

I can feel my port without having to push down much. I just have gotten use to it. My doctor hasn't mentioned anything about it, so I never thought to much into it. Good luck with your journey.

I can feel mine without having to push down very far at all. Remember that everyone's body composition is different. Just because you are siblings doesn't mean that you have the same amount of fat in the same places.

Don't freak out.

At 60 pounds less I can "see" (looks like an egg under my skin) and "feel" my port but also my excess SKIN that hangs. I will take that and be healthy and not obese.........o)

You are absolutely right thank you for putting that in perspective for me. I'd rather have a high port then 200 pounds or excess weight... Thank you
