I'm sure you can feel the port from the outside but I'm wondering can you feel anything inside of you. Do you feel it in there? When you sit, stand, walk, lay down, work out? Or do you feel normal as if it wasn't there at all?

Just wondering to expect.

I don't feel mine unless I bump into something or press on my stomach where my port is. I haven't noticed it with exercise, either.

I can feel my port when I lay on my stomach too long. I may just be super sensitive to it. It gets uncomfortable after a while.

WOW, this is good to know. I thought you would be able to feel it when you walk or move around.

Thanks!!

I can feel my port only when I press on it. As far as the band when I get a fill the first couple of days I can feel it, it guess because its sensitive.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
