I can actually feel my port AND my band through my skin. I'm going to see my surgeon Monday. I feel like,I have a pocket of gas on my left side just under my bottom rib.

Some people can feel their port but it's not possible to feel your band. It's rather deep in your abdominal cavity around your stomach and there's considerable fat and muscle between it and your skin. Whereas the port is sitting on top of your muscle so it's very possible to feel and even see it through the skin.

It is possible to feel tubing under certain circumstances. It's also possible you're feeling scar tissue.

Talk to your doctor if you're worried and he can make sure everything is as it should be.

Port yes, Band... highly unlikely. You may feel tubing, but I agree with Mis73... check with your doctor.

must agree with mis and gram as i also feel the and itself is inside us, under skin, fat etc

when i first got my port, i couldnt feel it because was so obese..the more i lose, i can feel it..and

its sorta visible...and its neat putting my hand on it and feeling it when i walk...i call it little buddy

good luck at the dr

I can feel my port for sure. The more I lose the more I can feel it. It is normal.

yep to the above lol

I've only been banded for a week. Maybe it's tubing...I also had plication done. Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to check it out when I go see Doc Monday
