You can see the scar and feel it if you push at the spot. It feels wierd! Some people say that after a big loss that they can see it sticking out a little. Some have it replaced with a low profile port if this happens.

TRYSTELLE,

This has nothing to do with your post. I just happened to notice that you had your surgery July 13th and you lost 79lbs already???? Is that right? That is wonderful! What is your secret? I haven't been banded yet but I plan to get it done in March.

Don't feel silly, a lot of people have asked me if my port is visible from the outside. One person even asked me if there was a hole from the outside of my belly into my insides, like a trach in your throat or something! Just like trystelle said...I am almost a year and a half out but I can still see the scar from the outside but otherwise no one will be able to tell you have a port by looking at you. Someone even asked me if my port/band sets off airport scanners...it doesn't!

I see the scar, and if I push in, I can feel the port, but I cannot see the port.

You will be able to go swimming after the incisions from surgery are healed.

Fills are like any injections, sometimes they hurt, but most don't.
