LL67 0 Posted August 16, 2009 When I press around my port site, I definetely feel something hard, which I don't like! I was hoping it would be more "internal", what are you guys feeling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TiffanyP 0 Posted August 16, 2009 I haven't been able feel it. Maybe when I lose a few more pounds I will be able to. I would think being able to feel it would be good when you get a fill, less hunt and peck to try and find it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lotusflwr 0 Posted August 16, 2009 Yes, I can feel my port! It does feel kind of weird. It doesn't bother me though? Patty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennyr1222 0 Posted August 16, 2009 I can feel mine but only because the Nurse showed me where it was the other day. I have heard that as people lose weight it can become visible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bea1128 1 Posted August 16, 2009 Hope you guys don't mind me posting, your thread caught my eye. My port isn't visible, but I can feel it very easily and I keep bumping it. I'm always bumping into the counters or whatever, but now that I've lost enough weight for my port to be palpable it really hurts when I hit it. I have several superficial veins right over my port and I hit it hard enough the other day to really bruise myself. It's sore today. I picked up my daughter and had to switch sides. It's annoying, but not enough for me to be sorry I've had it done. :-) Guess I'll just have to work on being less of a clutz! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formerfatchick 1 Posted August 16, 2009 If I really fish for it then i can feel something in the area that the resident pointed out where it is, but I dont have an incision over my port and I guess my "blubber" is cushioning it in a loving embrace...ha haha !!!

Jachut 487 Posted August 16, 2009 Mine's visible. I can certainly feel it easily. this pic doesnt really show it clearly, you can sort of see the "unevenenss" in the tone of my stomach to the upper left but in real life you can actually see a slight lump. If I put my arms above my head then it pops out and you can even see the tubing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
