I can really "feel" my port!



Recommended Posts

It is like it is just under my skin. It moves around as well, depending on whether I am sitting or standing. My fill was by xray so I thought that must be where the port was but it has moved around by 2-3 inches since then.

Is this normal?

Well Malby, I don't know if it's normal, but I know that when I went in for my first fill my doc was numbing the area around my navel and this second time (17 Apr) it was up closer to the scar and mine also gets tender when I have worked out really hard or do quite a bit of walking. It's weird, because before this 30 pound loss I couldn't tell you or even feel where it was!:blushing: Also this last fill my doc had that syringe in there so well it created a vaccum and when he tried to pull the syringe out it pulled the port up along with my skin and the syringe finally POPPED out of the port!:sad: It was really something!:lol:

Malby,

Yes. My doctor says it is normal for the port to ove with changing positions. mine is easily felt when standing but goes about one inch below my incision when I lie down for a fill. Weird, isn't it.
