Congrats! Glad my time is approaching. Do you actually feel the band on your stomach? I guess you would have to be able to feel it. Does it make your stomach hurt? Just want to know what I am in for afterwards. Thanks.

No you don't feel the band. The port may sometimes be sensitive for some people but not the band.

I certainly DO NOT feel the band. The main soreness is at the port site, only because it's the largest incision.

I do not feel the band at all. Some complain their port area aches but I haven't had that problem. Only way I can tell the band is in there is by how little I eat and if I eat too fast I end up throwing up. Eating slow and chewing and chewing and more chewing is the name of the game. I am 9 months out now and my incisions have almost completely faded.

I do plan on following doctor's orders to the letter as well. I will do nothing to mess with this surgery.

Congrats!

I can't feel the band but I can feel my port. Still - after 3 years. When I carry a clothes basket up against me sometimes I have to re-position, etc.

And I know this sounds insane but I SWEAR it aches when it rains!! HONEST, lol
