Is this normal?

I can actually feel my port AND my band through my skin. I'm going to see my surgeon Monday. I feel like,I have a pocket of gas on my left side just under my bottom rib.

Some people can feel their port but it's not possible to feel your band. It's rather deep in your abdominal cavity around your stomach and there's considerable fat and muscle between it and your skin. Whereas the port is sitting on top of your muscle so it's very possible to feel and even see it through the skin.

It is possible to feel tubing under certain circumstances. It's also possible you're feeling scar tissue.

Talk to your doctor if you're worried and he can make sure everything is as it should be.

Port yes, Band... highly unlikely. You may feel tubing, but I agree with Mis73... check with your doctor.

when i first got my port, i couldnt feel it because was so obese..the more i lose, i can feel it..and

I can feel my port for sure. The more I lose the more I can feel it. It is normal.
