Foreign object

I am three weeks post op and for the first time - I felt something. I leaned over to pick up something from the floor and when I stood up...this weird feeling right under my right breast. Hard to explain. I can only guess it is the band. I've not had this experience before. Anyone else feel an alien in there:scared2:?

Yep, I feel mine every once in awhile. Especially when I sit in a slumped position or bend over too far.

Yep. I can feel my port. I'm pretty well healed now (surgery Oct 8), so I have to push around to feel it; however at about three-weeks to a month out, I was crouched down and had some pain on the inside where I could clearly feel something foreign in there.

No doubt about it, baby. We've got implanted devices!

Wait until you start losing weight and you can see it! I can totally see mine a good part of the time and other times I just feel it. When I talk about the band I actually subconsciously touch the port site! Very weird I know but it is kind of cool in a way!

I'm not sure if what I felt was the band or not. What does the pain feel like? Mine felt like a pin prick? Is that what the pain of the port is? I thought maybe mine might have slipped, but I did not do anything that could have caused it to slip. The pain only lasted the one day, and I have not felt it since. The pain was right under my left breast, which is where I had my surgery on November the 18th. I always thought it would be down on my stomach, near my navel, but all surgery was done right under my breast? Any information would be helpful.

It could be gas. They use it to "inflate" you during surgery so they can see. Walking around should help. It could also be referred pain, because of the way the nerves run through our body pain in the internal organs could reveal itself as pain superficially in a totally different area of the body.

Thanks I was starting to feel abnormal LOL actually I don't think it is the port that I am feeling. I can feel it on the incision. This is a weird internal feeling. Okay I'm letting my imagination run really wild, but I imagine the tubing is rubbing against my ribs or something. It only happens if I lean over really far? IDK weird, but not painful.
