Can't Feel Lap Band Port

I am 11 days post op and I don't feel my port under the skin? Is that normal? I'm worried it disappeared or got lost!

im not sure if its normal but just consider yourself lucky! I am 1 week post op and I feel mine every min though out the day it hurts more than the stitches

I knew where mine was, because that was where the big incision was. But, did NOT feel the port until after I was filled for the 1st time. You are okay, I am sure. Calm down! Karen

I had no idea where my port was until I had my first fill. Now that I've lost 60 pounds, I can feel my port pretty easily and the area gets sore if I'm leaning against a hard surface. Don't worry, your port is there somewhere!
