trystelle 3 Posted September 3, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kat225 2 Posted September 4, 2007 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. Kat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LapBandit 5 Posted September 4, 2007 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fills are like any injections, sometimes they hurt, but most don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
