port question

To those who already have the band: can you feel the port? can you see it? is there a lump on your abdomen somewhere?

Sorry for the weird questions, I am seriously thinking of getting this surgery but need more info.

Not now but I think I did feel it move shortly after surgery. It was no more than two weeks after surgery and I was standing up and stretching with my arms extended upwards when I felt the oddest sensation of something sliding upwards inside of me, the sensation went from port area up to the ribs. It didn't hurt but it was such a foreign feeling that it almost made me nauseous. It scare me a bit too but nothing came of it and I haven't felt it since.
