yes, they can move considerably especially as you lose weight,

Are they easy to find again:

They don't tend to move that far, but with weight loss they do move. Mine is now about 1.5 inches further up than it was and when I bend over, it also catches on my ribs!

Most however are stitched in which is why if we do something such as situps it can become tender and sore.

Could be from the stretching then? you use a lot of tummy muscles swimming x

Before I was told by my provider not to do sit ups I used a machine in the gym which did a similar thing and the pain was quite immense, and that was because of the port pain attached to the muscle. When I stopped (having had an emergency visit to my provider to check all was ok!) it went back to normal

But having lost weight, it is considerably higher than it was, and as I say, its moved to a place that when I bend over, it now catches on my ribs, I've been told surgery is the only way to prevent this happening, but with more weight loss, it would move again . . .
