Can you tell u have the lapband??

You can feel and sometimes see the port. The band itself, no.

Just the port... I have never felt the band. The port is not visible to others looking at you.

nope, i do not feel my lap band. if i eat too much then i feel sick and sometimes even pb. but thats all i feel

i can feel my port and am starting to see a bump because im losing weight

chez- you have lost 90 lbs and your port is still unnoticeable??

not the band, but can feel my port when i put my hand where its at and esp when i walk. if i ever get to where its able to be seen, i am down with that...my friend who saved my life

Can't feel the band, and if you can, something is wrong. You're not supposed to be able to feel the band.

The port, yes I can feel and see it. It never bothers me, though.

As stated above, you can't feel the band around your stomach. I could always feel my port if I felt for it, from day 1...couldn't see it til I lost weight. I have lost 80 pounds and could see a small bump where the port is & it actually started to hurt, especially when I'd do ab workouts, it felt really bruised underneath and I had to stop doing ab workouts bcuz the "uncomfortable" feeling got painful during & after workouts. In Dec I had a tummy tuck & had my port changed to a low profile port at that time. Now, It doesn't hurt & I don't see it, even with my super flat tummy!

I can sometimes feel food or liquid passing through the band and I feel horrible pain when I am stuck or blocked.
