Feeling Band? Is This Normal?

I was banded April 13th. 10 days post op && I'm feeling good, but I have noticed now that I'm not so tender and swollen that I can actually feel my tummy now. I feel my band in the middle of my stomach below my bra line. Is this normal? Im prettysire ots my band.My port is by my belly button so I know it's not my port. Sometimes it's uncomfortable but I just feel it which is odd. Is this normal? Help (:

My port sits under my bra line, but if you're concerned I would check with your Dr. That is your best bet, it could be scar tissue or muscle as well. My incision where they inserted the actual band still is uncomfortable 4 years later.

My band is right below my bra line (saw it today on my upper GI and they showed me where my breasts are on the screen too) and I can sometimes feel it when drinking liquids, but other than that, no. I would say once your body is used to it and less aggravated, you won't notice :)

You cannot feel your band. That is buried quite deep, the most likely thing is that it is part of your port that you can feel.
