Guest suzieeq Posted September 12, 2005 Hi guys, I have been reading all the posts and they are all very informative... My first visit with the doctor is on Tuesday, Sept 13th. I have mixed feelings at this time because some of the things you all are going through seem so so hard but I'm sure well worth the end result. I haven't seen any post in reference to how this band feels. That is my concern right now...like how do you adjust to this band around your stomach and the port site. How does it feel? How do you get use to it?? Thank you all!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IVANinNJ 0 Posted September 12, 2005 I can't actually feel the band in place. Even without a fill, if I eat to fast or don't chew more than I used to, I can feel the food getting caught up and like other have said, it feels like a gof ball stuck in your chest, and you have to let it pass. Nothing has come back up on me but I know I came close a couple of times. The port can be easily felt under my skin if I am feeling it with my finger, but I don't feel it otherwise. So at least for me, it was easy to get used to and does not bother or interfere in any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
