Newbie question...what does the band feel like?

[Lovely Lioness 47]

Okay so I'm hoping to get insurance approval to be banded in early December and I literally had a dream last night that I was banded and was waiting to feel the sensation of 'tight' or 'restriction ' that so many Bandsters talk about. After surgery will my actual stomach feel any different? Or will it just be after my 1st fill and when I'm eating. I know this question may sound silly but I am getting excited and eager to really see/feel how my life will be different.

It doesn't feel like anything because you can't feel your band. The only time you really "feel" anything is if you get stuck.

Mis is right - you shouldn't feel your band at all if everything is well. Sometimes, during a stuck episode, I feel like a glob of something is stuck in my throat. But most of the time, I just feel full after just a little bit of food and have no desire to continue eating. It's pretty awesome!

Lol okay thanks everyone! Your answers make me feel good. I have a phenomenal surgeon (Dr Brett Cohen) in Hollywood Florida. I've met patients that say he has a 'healing hand'. Getting more excited everyday. Thankful to have friends in this online community who can give me their thoughts and opinions in record time. :-)
