jen36 1 Posted May 25, 2010 Today after I got done at the gym I happened to touch my large incision in the middle of my abdomen and I felt something really hard underneath. I never noticed it before. Is this my band that I feel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MySkinnyDream 8 Posted May 25, 2010 Most likely, it is your port that you are feeling. Is your large incision near your belly button? Your band is actually up near the middle of your chest at the bottom of your breast bone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jen36 1 Posted May 25, 2010 I hate to admit this but I don't know where my port is but the large incision is right above my belly button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reverie 49 Posted May 25, 2010 It's your port. You won't ever be able to feel your band. :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MySkinnyDream 8 Posted May 25, 2010 If you lie on your back and do a half crunch, you should be able to feel your port with your hand. This is how my doctor feels for it when I get a fill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jen36 1 Posted May 25, 2010 Oh ok so your port is not on the side its in the middle, surprised my dr. never told me where it is located. Thanks guys I was a little taken back when I felt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Havens 0 Posted May 25, 2010 I was just banded the 17th of May and I feel my port under a 1 1/2 in. inc. above and a litttle to the left of my belly button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimDB 0 Posted May 25, 2010 OH! I didn't know where my port was, but I think it might be in the same place. My largest incision is the lowest one, up and to the left of my belly button. And I do feel something hard underneath there. Thanks !!!! That's good to know.:biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
