I am post op , surgery was aug 24,2011 and next to my middle incision ( that is the longest) if i push a little down on it and rub my fingers across it ,it feels hard and alittle rounded, is this normal? is this the actual lapband?

Mostly likely what you are feeling is your port. Usually the biggest incision you have is the one where the port was inserted. And the port does feel somewhat hard and rounded.

It is part of the lapband. It is your port. The dr inserts a needle in there to fill your band.

I think you have a good question. I'm still trying to figure out where my port is also. I was told it would be on the left side, above my belly button and more closer to the second incision (not the biggest one). I have felt all over both the incision sites and can't feel a darn thing. I've pushed and pushed and pushed and NOTHING. I also have felt a ridge or something solid pretty much under the larger incision, but was told that they do NOT put the port right under any incision so I'm very confused. When I go in next I'm going to ask where exactly it is. I'm very curious about this and I'd love to hear where you finally locate yours!

My posrt is between my breast below my sturnum. there is about an inch and a half insicion there but the port is about a half in south of the incision. I like it there my bra doesnt rub it and niether do my pants.
