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.

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.
