So other than when you eat... Do you ever feel your band any other way?

No. I can feel my port though. If I lay on my stomach or bump against a counter top, etc. It also sticks out a bit.

I can't recall ever feeling my band in any other way than when I eat too fast or don't chew enough. Even then I don't feel the band, it's food backing up into my esophagus followed by excess slime.

I don't feel my band but I hear whats going on in my stomach more now. I don't know why don't know the scientific reason either. and when I am hungry it's astonishing the sounds that my stomach makes and everyone can hear.

It's weird because sometimes if I take a deep breath... I can feel a "click"... No other way to express it... I had a follow up last week and the nurse said "well there is a band in there... You'll feel it here and there" so I was curious if this happened to anyone else

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
