Thanks Ladies and Gents!

are you sick or in pain? why would you think that it has flipped? I don't know where my port is (No fills yet)

I can feel my port it is still tender and I am 7 mo post op. I don't know what it feels like to know it has flipped. If anyone knows this I am courious too! My port is below my left rib

No I am not sick or in pain- I had a few shar pains and pulling feelins a week ago but I realy feel great now- I just worry I guess because of those sharp stabbing pains a week ago and that I couldnt feel it-

It's unlikely that your port flipped already! I didn't know where mine was until after my first fill and was kind of scared to feel around for it. Now I know right where it is & can touch it -- though that is minorly freaky to me! :tongue:

Don't worry about a fipped port. That is pretty unusual and if it happens you will find out when you go for your first fill. At your fill, you will see where it is. It is usually near your largest incision. Mine is in the middle of my belly, just under my bra line. Now that I've lost almost 100 pounds I can easily feel it by rubbing my hand across my belly. It sort of sticks up but no one would notice it but me.

could you tell me how to put that tracker on my profile? I can feel my port . I am 6 days post op and it feels very weird to me. My Question is after I lose my weight will it stick out? will other people be able to see it or feel it?

I am 2 weeks post op and I can feel mine. Its just a hard feeling on my biggest incision. Its only sore in one spot but I can touch it no problem. Just lightly feel around your incisions, you might find it.

Mine is just below my big incision! About and inch or two below it!

I have a low profile port, but I can still easily feel it. I just hope the PA can monday when I have my first fill!

What makes you think yours flipped?

It was a while before I could feel mine. Now I can feel it easily but cannot see it.

Yes, I can feel it. I also have a low profile port.

what is a low profile port? can anyone who has lost alot of weight see there port? I am just wondering when we lose all this weight will the port stick out and be noticiable or will it be just here? :tongue:

Mine is just below my big incision! About and inch or two below it! It is still sore and I can't feel it as of yet. My doctor told me where my port is and he showed me that is how I know where my port is.

My port flipped after a hard time getting filled. My port felt flatter then usual. When I had it removed and put back in 10 days later due to an infection, my doctor confirmed it had indeed flipped. All is well now.
