What Do I Feel??

I was banded on dec 29 2011. Just this week I feel a hard spot under my incision. I guess that is my port?? Not sure. Anyone else feel anything under there or am I crazy!!

Which incision, I have 5, the long one on the left is my port and I can feel the port. The one above my navel has a hard bump, but I think that is the glue they used.

Jeana, I'm pretty sure that is our ports, just guessing cause I'm a newbie too. Anyone else with an answer?

The largest incision you have is the port site, its in different places on all of us, but it does feel hard to the touch, contact your surgeon if u are worried or if its red and hot to the touch, or is oozing fluid/infection. If not it sounds normal so dont worry :)

Cazzy is right.

Thanks guys!! I was just under the impression that I would not be able to feel it so I was a little freaked out! But I appreciate all your info:)
