  1. I went in for me one week appointment post surgery last week. In the middle of my stomach right where the band is at I have an object poking out of my stomach. Most times you can't see it when I am standing or sitting, but if I lay down flat you can visibly see the object. At all times, regardless of my position you can feel the object. (that part doesn't bug me as I expected it). The doctor's assistant told me it appeared to be the "shoulder" of the band, and that it would become more visible as I lost more weight. (I expected that) but I have just started, lost about 15 lbs, and I already feel like I have an alien popping out of my stomach from this, so when I reach my goal weight, how bad is this thing going to be? anyone else have this? I try not to worry to much about it, but my husband is really concerned and pushing me to get a second opinion on it.
