Can you feel your band?

SHAZ · January 30, 2005

I am probably the only one, but I have a sensitive sensation around the band area(front left belly). But then, I did have some strange burning pain earlier on in that area. It's all better, only the sensation remains. I expect it to go away as well, since it's getting better each day. Guess that's just the way my body responded to the band. My doctor nor anyone else seems to have ever heard of this. WIERD!

I can't feel my band at all, only my port.

Shaz, I also have a sensitive sensation in the band area. Not quite sore, but sensitive. I am now wondering if it is not the band I feel, but tube leading to the port? I can't feel my port at all!!!

I can feel my port. Mine is at waist level and very easy to feel.

I can feel my port very well when I stand up and sort of when I'm lying down. It freaked me out the first time so I try not to do it!

I just had another port-removal surgery that left a huge cavern-of-a-hole in me. If you look into the hole, you can probably see the band from the inside! Totally gross.
