Port is moving

picturemethin

Anybody else noticing that the port is moving. My port is on the R - side about 5 inches below my breast midway between my right hip and belly button well thats where it was originally, its moving in towards the belly button more and has moved about 1.5 inches South. Is it going to end up in my crotch? I am just kidding, but anyone else experience that. My doc says its normal as you lose weight but, I am not so sure its supposed to move that much?

Thanks!

oh my goodness I hope mine doesn't end up in my crotch....haha I am just 4 weeks post op and mine sort of sticks out. I am also wondering how far its going to poke out when I lose this weight????

It will still be stitched to the same bit of your abdominal wall but as you lose all your internal fat, where that bit of your abdominal wall is will change.

And yes, sorry to say but my port now sticks out. I dont think I have a low profile one, never asked. You'd only ever see it in a bikini anyway, it doesnt show through clothes, and really, on the beach you're just letting it all hang out anyway. I mean my bum now resides on the back of my knees, I can tie my tits in a knot behind my head, so why worry about a bit of a lump on my stomach?
