Is it normal to feel your band????

I am thinking that since I have lost most of my weight in my belly and it is somewhat flat now (YEAH) I can really feel (I think it is the band).  It feels extremely weird.
Can anyone else feel theirs or is it just me?  My husband thinks that I should call the Doc just to make sure it didn't slip off.  I don't think it has because I feel fantastic all the time.. I would think I would feel different like something is up.  Maybe not..
Please let me know what you all think.

What you may be feeling is the port - or possibility the "tubing" - but the actual band - I am unsure you can do that. Then again, I have been wrong in the past.

Let me know what the Doctor says. I am interested in knowing what it is.
Good Luck on your Journey !!

I was thinking the same thing about not feeling the band but it seems like a good size.
It very well could be the port but If I can remember I think it was lower when he did my fill lying down.  Well we will see I have an appt on the 23rd, so I will check with him.
Thank you Tom

Hi Pam,
My surgery was only 3 weeks ago and I started feeling something near my port incision.  It feels like someone popping me with a rubber band in my stomach....not real painful, but definitely noticeable.  I asked my doctor and she said that it was the port and alot of people can feel it and that I will most likely feel it forever. 
Hope that helps

Oh, thanks so much.  That's what Tom was saying too.  It probably is the port, but I just can't stand the feeling.  But now that I have a fairly flat stomach I feel it more and if something hits it ( Like my waist on my pants )or I lean against it, it feels strange.  I have an appt on the 23rd so I will bring it to my docs attention.
Thanks again for your response
Pam
