Port Moves ?

mediummike · 05-15-2008, 08:55 AM

My port used to be about 1/2 inch below my scar and now it is about 1/2 ABOVE my scar. Strange ? Or is this normal ? I go for a fill in 10 days and will certainly bring it up with the surgeon but was wondering if anybody else has experienced this ?

Hi Mike,
The exact same thing happened to me. My port site has been bothering me for the last several days, and today I noticed that my port has moved to above my incision.

I have a fill scheduled on the May 24th, but I think I will call my doc soon. I keep hoping that the pain will go away, but it doesn't look like it.

I will let you know what he says

sometimes the port moves with your body... if you gain muscle or something like that. Mostly your SKIN is moving... that changes and drops as you lose weight. When you get fills later you will see that they move the skin around to find the right spot.

Mine has moved some too over the past few months. I have had three fills so far and the doctor hasn't said anything sooooooo

Your port will move as you lose weight. Mine has moved a bit from where it orginally was. My Dr. said this would happen. No worries, just means the band is working!
