NWgirl 574 Posted May 29, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilbelly 31 Posted May 29, 2012 I have 3 small ones and 1 larger one where I am guessing the port is. I feel like a boat with "port holes" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depending on how much stomach fat you have, some people's ports show more than others. 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.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neversatisfied 19 Posted May 30, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
