Can you see the port?

Will you be able to see your port or is it hidden under the skin? And if its hidden how do you get fills? :thumbup:

Thanks!

the port is under the stomach muscle usually on the right side. When people lose enough sometimes you can see the lump. The doctors are skilled at feeling it and sticking the needle through the skin and into the port.

I can see mine, its a lump in my upper abdomen. I can feel a bit of the tubing as well through my skin. If I lie flat or put my arms up in the air, it stands out in sharp relief - a bit freakish.

I had a BMI of 35 to begin with so mine has always been fairly superficial and easy to access.

This photo, you can see a bit of sort of "unevenness" on the upper right stomach (left side in the photo of course), it doesnt really photograph that well, but that's what it looks like normally. If I ever had a Tummy Tuck and lost that upper abdominal crepiness, it'd be very obvious.

Thanks!!! that makes me feel so much better... for whatever reason i was thinking that it would have to be outside the skin... and thought that would be a horrible site!
