Can feel band?
Hello there, just got realize just over three weeks ago and have noticed that I can feel by realize band with my large incision which is located top left just between left nipple and belly button. Surgeon told me after first post op appointment that was my realize band. Just wondering if anyone has experienced same issue. Thanks
Yeah, that sounds kind of odd... I would imagine it is your port you are feeling. As far as I understand, your band is actually located just below your breast bone. I can't feel anything when I push there, is that where you are pushing?

That is the port. The band is where your ribs meet in the middle of the chest. I felt my band for about 3 months after surgery. Meaning I felt a weird "picking" feeling in that area. I asked my doc where the actual band is placed and he pointed to the bottom of my sternum where my ribs meet. I could not physically feel in with my fingers but it felt weird inside. I can't feel anything anymore. Sometimes when I exercise I can feel my port which is on my right side at about the bottom of my rib cage but over in the muscle area of my stomach.
