port question?

[HeatherO 7]

still sore...and very prominent?

i was just curious do you feel your port? mine feels huge...there is a big lump under my skin, but i feel something hard but its really big, and its still sore....2 months today since surgery...is it supposed to be big? i thought it was kinda small from what i saw before surgery...

and my port is high up on the right side...right under where if you wear a underwire it presses the fat down on the big plastic feeling lump, causing it to be sore...does this ever heal enough to go away or is the placement just wrong and i need to ask for port revision?

I think the placement is a little unfortunate if the weight of your underwire pushes down on it and causes discomfort. Mine is never sore anymore but now that I have lost my weight, I can see where it is if I don't have a shirt on and it can easily be felt.

It might get better over time. At 2 months out I was still getting the occasional port pain from abdominal exercises. Can you give it a "rest" sometimes by wearing no bra or a sports bra when you are at home and don't have to go anywhere? Perhaps you can get a new non-underwire bra that might feel a little better as well.
