I've lost 70 lbs since 09/12 and can now feel my band in my stomach, not my port. Is this normal?

It's usually behind the breastbone area which makes it highly unlikely that most of us can feel a band. Unless it's slipped somewhat. I do feel my port bubble off my belly button area.

When my band slipped last month, I started feeling the band with everything I ate. For about a week. Don't feel it anymore, but for a short time, I swear I could feel it. No pain, just I knew it was there

Do you mean through the skin? It is highly unlikely you can feel the band, you may however be able to feel the tubing.

Can't feel the band, but definitly the port.

Agreed, but sometimes, I can feel the cold liquids pass through the band. I can feel the port, tho". And at times the port is very dominate. Karen

I can't feel my band, but I definitely feel my port, I feel every day, just to make sure it's still there

nope, i dont think you can feel the lap band that is stitched to your stomach inside your body

but def feel the port......more so as you lose weight/fat from your stomach..i can see mine now...where when i started, i was like, did i even have a port?? too much fat to feel it......true statement....and one reason it never hurt to sleep on my tummy (fat protected it)
