Question:
Lap banders can you feel the band inside you?

I'm wondering if you can feel the band by pressing in on your stomach or sleeping on your stomach. The place where the port goes doesn't have alot of fat, and I'm afraid it will look like a lump under my skin.    — Alison D. (posted on October 11, 2002)

No you cannot feel the band around your stomach when you sleep. I can feel the port if I am looking for it, but it does not stick out on me or is noticeable. I hope that this helps!

I was banded Sep 19, and cannot feel my band or port. I have been able to sleep on my tummy for the past few days.

No, can't feel either the port or the band.
