Hi All-

I've been banded for over a year and everything is going great. I'm a very private person and not too many people know I have the band. I'm getting concerened because I want to start having kids soon but I'm nervous my port will stick out and everyone will know I have it. Anyone that has got pregnant after being banded if you could please help! Do you see the port? If so, was it really sticking out that someone said something?

Any help would be apprciated!

Thank you =!

I have no answers to your questions...no kids, not planning on any (at least very soon) but there is a forum on here just for these questions! http://www.lapbandtalk.com/forum/122-pregnancy-with-the-lap-band/ Hope this helps!

Nope, you couldnt see my port at all. I could easily feel it though.

Thank you for taking the time to respond! Can you feel it normally when you weren't pregnant? Does it feel close to the surface? You just made me feel so much better! You have no idea!

Is your port uder your bra line?

I can feel it when im not pregnant, but i have to push on my belly. It is under my bra line. I have not told a whole lot of people about my band. But when I was pregnant it wasnt like I was showing off my bare belly. My OB knew, of course.

Good luck!

Thank you for the info! Someone told me it sticks out so bad that you can see it through your shirt. I almost had a heart attack so I wanted to see if anyone else has had that issue. Thanks for everything!
