Feeling the port??

[Navywifey88 0]

Hello! I was banded March 24th, and now that the swelling has gone down... when im laying straight on my back I can feel a hard "something" under my skin. Is this the port or something else? Maybe im being paranoid with all the talk of hernias and stuff. I have an appointment for my follow up tomorrow,, but id really like some piece of mind tonight.. Since im pretty sure sleep wont be easy. Thanks!

Probably your port. Mine is clear as day now, especially when I lay down. I'd love to have it taken out or at least moved elsewhere. sleep well; nothing to worry about at all

Most likely the port. Mine is to tthe left of my belly button. When I lay down I can feel it.

Rest easy!

99.99% probability it is your port. If it was something else, worrying won't fix it anyhow. So try to relax, drink a cup of soothing tea, listen to some quiet music and get your sleep.

Good sleep is conducive to weight loss...

My port has always been palpable through my skin..... and now, it totally sticks out. I'm having it moved when I have TT surgery in June, so it's not so "out there"

I actually find myself playing with it..... so it's a good thing that I'm having it moved

Thanks guys!! Yeah, im pretty sure its just my port. I was so concerned because I was having a lot of pain on my left side down lower and I had believed that was where my port was. So when I felt it higher up on my right side, I was a little worried. But I have my follow~up today in a few hours and hopefully my surgeon will confirm that for me. Thanks for all the kind responses!
