For everyone that can feel it, is it bothersome?

Not at all and I'm only 4 weeks post op.

I can feel mine at the incision and I'm convinced I can feel more "plastic" toward the center where abs might be someday haha. It's not bothersome, though some higher waisted pants were uncomfortable when healing (they rested on the port site) and sometimes after a fill it's a little sore to the touch. Otherwise, it's totally fine!

I can feel mine more and more. At first it was awfully tender in that area and I was constatly rubbing it (which of course, made the soreness worse). SO, I used to refer to it as my gunshot wound. But now, i only feel it if I touch it. No soreness at all.

My doctor pushed so hard to feel mine 2 weeks ago it hurt for 4 days after that.

Today he felt it and I could feel it, it is the side of my big incision. I feel it when I roll on that side in bed too!

It freaks me out sometimes, but I would love to have it "stick out" as I lose weight! :)

I'm 2 weeks out they showed me where mine was. I can feel mine if I want to, otherwise it's non-existant.
