Everyone can feel and see the "generator" or powerpack or whatever you want to call it. It does stick out. ick. Mine was just above my waist on my side. There's not alot of skin there, and I had alot of trouble with that. In fact that's the reason i ended up having to have it taken out ~ they said I didn't have enough "fat content" in me, and the darned thing started working ITSELF out. double ick.
So don't worry ~ you're not weird or anything. It's like that with everyone. Too bad they have to be so big! Take care. Hugs, Lee
