May be crazy, but I swear I can feel my lapband in the center of my chest. The band feels tight every morning since my last fill and it is tender to the touch.

Anyone else experience this?

Mine is tight in the morning and my port does get sore if I over eat.

I totally said that to my doctor at my one week post op visit! I swore I could feel the band and he assured me I was not feeling it lol the pain was just some acid reflux. As for the tightness/tenderness, my nutritionist said that this was due to the pressure of laying down. All your internal organs undergo some pressure when you lay down to sleep at night, but sometimes the extra pressure plus the band can cause some minor swelling around the band. That's why people often complain of feeling tighter in the morning. Basically she said it was nothing to worry about, but obviously if you have concerns, don't hesitate to talk to your own surgeon

I never have felt the band, but the port sometimes gets in the way of certain pants and belts. As I lose weight and the fat is gone I can find the port real easily when I am in the shower and just like to pull up my shirt and show it off.

I'm tight in the morning too due to fluid. I can physically feel my port from the outside but not within.

I can feel the port if I press on that area but I can't feel my band.......

I can feel the port easily, I can even feel the tubing from the port out a few inches.
