My Lapband Port

Me more question for my lapband exercisers. Now that my stomach is getting toned I feel my port closer to the surface of my skin. A month ago when I got a fill he had to keep poking around to find it. well you can feel it now, is this normal?

I hope someone can answer your question better than me, but here's my go: It is possible that you've lost more belly fat or that your port has detached partially or fully from the abdominal wall.

Yes. You will get to the point that you can almost wrap your fingers around it. Some people lose so much fat around it that they have to have it reseated deeper or moved to another location. I never had it moved but I understand that it's a fast/easy surgery that often happens in MDs office.
