Lap-Band port

I am considering lap band and am curious if you can feel the port or the band? Also what have people experienced in the adjustment process,does the needle hurt like a shot,how do they determine what is too much or too little? Thanks

I had my band done July 15th. After a day or so I noticed one incision hurt more than the other. Touching it I realized that I could feel the port. It feels like a lump under the skin about the size of a marble. I can not feel the band at all. As for the needle, I haven't had a fill yet but have read that people don't hardly feel it at all. One lady said that she had lots of inflammation and soreness at the port area when she got her first fill and it didn't hurt at all. Hope this helps.
