I am not sure if what I see is the lap band itself or the port thru my skin..the bump of it and can feel an object..is this supposed to be like that or an I still just swollen..banded 5/16/12 ? My stitches just came out so I am not sure what is normal ..had it done in Mexico so I have no one local to call. Do have a scheduled fill at a bariatric surgical center on the 18th of June but not sure they will take me as a patient..

I can't see my port, but I can definitely feel it. Depending on how much stomach fat you have, some people's ports show more than others.

I have 3 small ones and 1 larger one where I am guessing the port is. I feel like a boat with "port holes" :D

Very true...I had my first fill today and you can see from my ticker I am very fat. I could not find my port at all but the Doc found it with no problems. She was not even the one who put it in....

I have 4 small scars and one larger where my port is. I have 40 pounds to lose and I can clearly feel my port by just running my fingers over my abdomen.
