What do you feel?

[Newlife4me 0]

When you feel around where your port is, what do you feel. I used to feel the "flat" surface of the port but now It seems like I am feeling round parts, which I would assume are the sides. The nurse told me that my port had not "flipped or moved" and if it had, as of the last fill it had moved back. I had the band surgery on May 31st and latly when I feel the port it is rather tender and a little sore. Do you think this is normal for being this far out? I don't feel bad, but I notice the port more than usual. Any thoughts?

Thanks - Sharon

I notice my port more, seems the more I lose the more I notice it..you could also be feeling scar tissue which is forming around the port. ...I think it is normal for us to always worry that something has gone wrong with our ports and bands. I'm 18 month post op and I stil lworry about it.

I have started feeling something funny around my port. I assumed it was scar tissue. I have always...since about 4 weeks out...been able to feel my port round and hard and smooth under my skin. I think the stuff that's hard around it (but not all the way around) is just scar tissue. As you lose weight, too, it will change.

Mine doesn't seem as flat anymore either. But I've never had trouble getting a fill. I wonder about it too.
