That was my clue, and severe pain cause the tube is floating around poking my insides. Im going to get a whole new band this time and I hope it fixes everything. Will keep you posted,

Hello. Well, the reason I knew something was wrong, I was having severe pain in my stomach, after I went full circle from my Lap Band doctor, my health care doctor, my GYN doctor, and back to my Lap Band doctor. After tests and surgerys from my other doctors, they found it. My tube from the port was hanging down near my pelvic area. That was the first time. This time, almost 2 weeks after I had it fixed, I went to the ER with severe stomach pain, after a CT and X Rays, there was the little sucker again!!! This is a painful problem that I hope you never have to deal with! (im going to have a whole new band put in on the 23rd. I would take it out and leave it, but that would mean all this for nothing. Iv lost 80 + lbs, but im still wanting to get down some more. want to be under 200. its a tough decision)

I was the same way, wondering when I was gonna be able to tell and feel the restriction. Much to my surprise, my tube was undone from my port the whole time. I had it fixed and it came undone again. grrr. So, if you dont feel it soon, you may want to have x rays done to check ur band and tube
