 Just more of a "wondering" question.  Learning to love the board.

I can feel mine. I can really feel it after a tough exercise. I always ask my husband "feel it", does that feel weird? He thinks it feels weird.

 I can as well. I was banded in June after having the RNY in 2002.  I also had a LBL and TT and even with a 75lb regain, I still have a SERIOUSLY flat stomach.  My PS was AMAZING!  So, bc of the flatness of my tummy, my port is very obvious when standing and even more so when laying down.  Since I am a single gal who dates, my Surgeon told me to tell any boy/man that "feels me up" that it is a hernia until Im ready to share with him.

Yes, I can. I would say when I lost about 50 pounds I noticed it. I was not sure what it was and asked my surgeon. He told me that is was my port. I understand many people can not, but mine is easy to find. Makes for easy fills. -- Tom

I felt my port as well after losing 50 lbs. It did feel weird...

When i had my tummy tuck after 105 lbs, the port was replaced with a smaller one and you don't feel a thing now.

I could always feel mine and it is more prominent when lying down.  After a year though, it seems to be less palable. It kinda of gives me a reminder of the whole thing when I feel it.

Interesting posts. Mine is not easy to find. Must be because I'm still fluffy.

You'll feel yours soon.

Not only can I feel my port, I can feel the tubing.

Ask me how I got rid of my keloid scar!
