Jennifer16005 26 Posted August 25, 2011 I was wondering if banded people feel the band inside.... Does it feel weird at first and you get use to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jen120 23 Posted August 25, 2011 I definitely do not feel the band. Never did, not even right after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SarahStLouis 1 Posted August 25, 2011 Never feel it. I had stomach pain after surgery, but that subsided after about a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ro-Jae327 4 Posted August 26, 2011 No I don't feel the band. Never have. I had a Hital Hernia repair so I felt that pain after surgery, but never the band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tlatimo4 1 Posted August 26, 2011 I can not feel the band at all and Im afraid to ever feel the port lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screeden 21 Posted August 26, 2011 i can't feel my band either, but can feel it inside when it is tight. Now my port is harder to feel than most. Mine is deep next to my belly button, so as i lose weight you can't see it. if i lay down and do like a situp, then i can feel it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kimmypoo38 5 Posted August 26, 2011 I felt my band the first two weeks after surgery. It was so uncomfortable. It felt like it was rubbing up against my lungs. After that, I didn't feel it anymore. I do feel the port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
