Hi all,

I've had my lapband for 2 years now, and I'm having a weird sensation I haven't felt before. For most of the day it has felt tight around the left side of my stomach (not the side where my port is) similar to how it feels when I've overeaten with the band. But, I hadn't overeaten and it hasn't gone away all day. When I felt around on my stomach I felt a bit of a bump-- but is there any time where you would even be able to feel a part of the lapband other than the port? Now the port feels kind of "stretched" too-- like there is a tightness in the two sides and it's uncomfortable to stretch out on my stomach. Any ideas what's going on and if this is normal or not?

Thanks for the help.

I would have your surgeon check it out, it could be a hernia.
