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.

      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.
