port

[starrlighter 0]

I was wondering about how the port feels under your skin. I'm concerned that it will drive me nuts. Little things like that tend to get under my skin so to speak.

Ha! Ha! But really, how does it feel? I really need to know what I'm in for.

Mine was uncomfortable for a month after surgery, but I don't even notice it now. Some people seem to have a bit of trouble with it, but I rarely even think about it.

Mine was sore for a while (a few weeks) after surgery. There was a kind of a tender area above my navel, but you cant see it. It is far enough under my skin that I cant feel it unless I press deeply into my skin, then it only feels like a hardened area. It is not protruding, and now 7 weeks out, it really isn't sore anymore.

I felt mine and it sometimes became sore during the first year. More recently, I am not aware of it. It has now moved somewhere away from where my jeans waistband fits THANK GOODNESS!! Mine has gotten much more comfortable and less noticeable to me as time goes on.

This was one thing that I was bothered by as well (pre-surgery). My answer is generally the same as everyone else... a little tenderness the first week or two.

And now, 4 months later, I very seldom think about it or notice it there.

Another thing that I was concerned about was it causing uncomfortableness during sex. That wasnt a problem either!
