For everyone that can feel it, is it bothersome?

I can feel mine at the incision and I'm convinced I can feel more "plastic" toward the center where abs might be someday haha. It's not bothersome, though some higher waisted pants were uncomfortable when healing (they rested on the port site) and sometimes after a fill it's a little sore to the touch. Otherwise, it's totally fine!

I can feel mine more and more. At first it was awfully tender in that area and I was constatly rubbing it (which of course, made the soreness worse). SO, I used to refer to it as my gunshot wound. But now, i only feel it if I touch it. No soreness at all.

My doctor pushed so hard to feel mine 2 weeks ago it hurt for 4 days after that.

Today he felt it and I could feel it, it is the side of my big incision. I feel it when I roll on that side in bed too!

It freaks me out sometimes, but I would love to have it "stick out" as I lose weight! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
