I'm sure you can feel the port from the outside but I'm wondering can you feel anything inside of you. Do you feel it in there? When you sit, stand, walk, lay down, work out? Or do you feel normal as if it wasn't there at all?

Just wondering to expect.

I don't feel mine unless I bump into something or press on my stomach where my port is. I haven't noticed it with exercise, either.

I can feel my port when I lay on my stomach too long. I may just be super sensitive to it. It gets uncomfortable after a while.

WOW, this is good to know. I thought you would be able to feel it when you walk or move around.

Thanks!!

I can feel my port only when I press on it. As far as the band when I get a fill the first couple of days I can feel it, it guess because its sensitive.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
