I am think of getting the Lap Band surgery, I was at one time a professional fighter, I would like in the future to play around with boxing and teaching my boy , I was wondering what happens if you get hit in the port will it hurt it and can you feel it?

Thank You

I'm curious about the responses you get. When my young boys bump into it or get too rough I can definitely feel it. It hurts!

I asked my surgeon this question as he always places ports over the solar plexus. He said he had many patients who were very active, including a professional boxer and there was never a port problem with contact to the area.

That is what my surgeon said as well..
