Feels something hard under large incision..



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

I hate to admit this but I don't know where my port is but the large incision is right above my belly button.

It's your port. You won't ever be able to feel your band. :unsure::biggrin:

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.

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.

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.

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:
