I no longer feel my band? Should I be worried?

[Suzzie81498 78]

I am 9 days post op and yesterday and today are first days that I dont have pain and dont "feel" uncomfortable when eating (or drinking I guess I should say). Is this normal? I had really bad nausea and heaving on days 3&4 and took zofran and was fine- but maybe thats why I was so sore?

Just worried that I cant feel the pressure any more...and hoping its normal.

Thanks!

Yes, in fact you're not supposed to feel your band. That's a good thing and means you're healing properly.

Sounds like the heal9ing cycle is progressing nicely. Things are as they should be. You should not be able to feel the band, just the restriction when eating and that may not come at first until you have had a few fills. Just eat the right stuff in the right portions. You are doing fine!

I am also 9 days post-opt, and can't feel my band and no soreness and can actually lay on my stomach finally. I can actually drink more Water than before to where it makes me wonder if I even have a band on lol. And my hunger has come with avengance but trying to stick with my post-opt diet. Nice to know I'm not the only one feeling this way:)
