Hi, I just had my surgery 4 days ago. This evening I stuck my funger in my belly button for no reason at all and I feel something hard in there. I think it's the port but I'm not sure. I dont feel it anywhere else. Did my lap band fall? out of place? Should I go to the ER?

No you will feel a hard little spot in your belly and from time to time it might stick out but you have nothing to worry about it your band and port. "Patients you will get use to it"

i have noticed that since i have lost weight that my port moves around , and the nurse has also noticed it. so it must be the way it is.... you will get use to it soon.. good luck with your journey.

I dont know about all of you but that is one thing I DEFINATELY know where it is!!! I feel it all the time. WHen Im doing sit ups, putting lotion on, bending over! I can even tighten my stomach muscles and make it stick out more! Mine is under my rib cage on my left side. Drives me nuts that I can feel it! :thumbup:

My port is right at the end of the longest scar to the left of the other scars. It is weird when i am lying down it sticks out heaps and when i lie on my side it sticks out from there too.It is so obvious hopefully when i have my first fill the doc will see it straight away and not miss when he puts the needle in (biggest fear is if he has to stuff around for hours trying to fill the dam thing).It has been in the same place for the four weeks i have had this band in hasnt moved around yet hope it doesnt really. it feels so bizzare but its there for a reason right.

Good luck everyone H x x x
