Lap Band Port

I recently had the lap band and for the first week my port didn't hurt not was it hard. Now that I'm dropping some pounds it's been hurting and it feels like a hard ball. I had my post op a few day ago and at the time I wasn't having this problem. Does this seem normal you folks? Please give me any off your input you can provide please. Thank you!

    My port feels the same way. Though it may be scar tissue it is more than likely just your port that you're feeling. Mine has shifted and become more prominent as I've lost more and more.
