Is this normal

Is it normal to feel the lap band inside of you? I can feel mine and thought I'd ask to see if anyone else can feel it..

The only time I feel the band is when I'm receiving a fill and for a couple of days after that. It feels like squeezing. Hope this helps.

I feel it during/after a fill sometimes. I also feel my port at night sometimes.

i have no fills and ive felt it since i got the surgery (july 31st 2009)

I can't feel mine. I had one fill and felt a "tightness" within but can't feel the band at all.

I cant feel it but touch but I "feel" it every moment since my last fill. I feel the tightness not the band itself.

I felt mine after the surgery for a couple for weeks...especially when I would move.

It was weird and I didn't like it.

But now I don't feel it at all.

My port is a little sore once in awhile, but that's it.

I've read that once it scars in place you stop feeling it.

I feel it in the morning when I first wake up. After I have some fluid and move around the sensation goes away.

I don't feel it at all, not right after surgery, and not during my first fill either. The only time I even know its there is if I actually eat something that doesn't go down well.

I still feel mine, it's been a little over a month
