Can you feel your port?



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

Yes, I can feel my port! It does feel kind of weird. It doesn't bother me though? Patty

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.

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!

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 !!!

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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
