Kittycat Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Not at all, you don't even know it's in there....you will feel port tenderness for the first 4 weeks around your largest incision, but other than that, you wouldn't even know you have a foreign object inside. Stop worrying...you will be fine!!! Don't over think it. Deep breath and relax okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vix Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 That was the same question I asked. I am getting my band in 2 more days so I promise to come back and tell ALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlBarb Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have been banded less than 3 months and lost 30 pounds, so I can feel the port easily under the skin. It does not hurt and it doesn't show, only the scar shows. If it gets to be a problem and shows through the skin when I reach my goal weight and am at my sweet spot, the doctors in TJ said they will put it under the muscle instead of on top. I don't feel any different, I want to. I want to not be able to eat so much and get a big enough fill. Don't worry, no one I have met ever regrets getting banded. The proof is in the weight loss for me. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
