Hi. I was banded in September and I cannot feel my port. Before my first fill, I thought my port was near my biggest incision. I was way off. When I go for my fills they have a LITTLE BIT of trouble finding it. They usually have me put my legs down flat, my arms over my head and have me do like a mini crunch. They don't seem concerned about it and I'm not worried about it. Yours might be different - did they seem concerned when you got your fill?? You might want to speak with your surgeon if you are worried. Good luck to you!! Becky

my dr had to really push to find mine but he told me its because i lost alot of inches yippeeeeeeeeeeee

I could not feel my port until I lost about 50 lbs. Now I can. I didnt have any trouble with the fill however.

I have bot been able to feel or find mine. I haven't had a fill yet. I sure hope it's not difficult for the Dr to find! I know that area is still quite tender.

Wow - my port is so noticable! I feel it all the time! If I hold my stomach in you can see it but only if you know what you're looking for.

I was banded on 12/9/08 and I feel the port (or do I)? It burns a little and feels like when I bend over it feels strange. I feel like I am going to tear it when I bend over. Is this normal?
