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

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.

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?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
