Mine sticks out a bit, and is very easily found by touch!!<br /><br />My PCP Doctor, in an examination, felt it and thought that it was a Tumor or something, and was ready to write out an order for a CT Scan or something! <br /><br />We reminded him of my Lap Band Surgery, and he was fascinated!! Apparently, I am the only patient in his practice that has had the Surgery!!

I actually have a 1-inch scar INSIDE my belly button, which kinda freaked me out at first, but now I realize it's so it won't be so noticeable. I recently felt my own port for the first time... I've never gone looking before because it kinda grosses me out, even when my doctor does it.Christina @ Love Yourself Healthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530940931626447230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786028657534118741.post-47782464732765276882011-04-04T21:01:17.572-04:002011-04-04T21:01:17.572-04:00Mine is one inch above my belly button and to the ...Mine is one inch above my belly button and to the left about one inch too.<br /><br />I have a photo of my bandages here:<br />http://somethingaboutkellie.blogspot.com/2010/11/no-tears.html<br />It's the bandage with the blood :)<br /><br />I can feel it quite easily (and always have been able to) since surgery.
