No, you cannot feel it after everything is healed. I cannot tell it's there at all except when I press on my stomach I can feel a small hard area where my port is.

Unlike some others, I do have a sensation where the band it located often. It is not painful nor bothersome, it is just there. It is not imaginary but I often wonder if I am one of the few that actually can tell exactly where their band is located by this feeling.

I cannot feel the band by touch or feel. But I sure know its there doing its job....like most others I can feel the port.

You cannot feel the band. It is attached to a part of the body that does not have nerve ending with the ability to feel something simply touching it.

Sometimes I can feel my band is tighter in the morning, but usually I forget it's even there. I can feel my port if I'm lying down and press on my lower abdomen but otherwise it doesn't bother me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
