I don't feel it passing through, but I sure feel it if something gets stuck!

If you are feeling food as it passes through it may be a sign that you are not chewing your food well enough.

Hello, No i dont feel when the food goes down. Your band maybe too tight, you may wanna go and see your doctor to get it unfill a little. I was feeling that and vomiting and just had mine unfill 1cc. Doctor left 4cc in. and im feeling great. still with some restrictions but im able to drink more fluids at one time then prior.

I can feel when the food goes down. You're not the only one. My sister can feel it too when her food goes down.

I can feel mine at times. I just take it as an indicator that food is passing on thru and I'm not at risk for developing a "mega-esophagus." I have no discomfort just awareness that it (food) is going thru. I am a faithful chewer, so I don't think it's related to not enough chewing. I agree with waterlily1072 and Libbyjane1976; everyone is different.

yep, I do feel food passing through my band, and I take it as a good sign that all is working well. If I was feeling more of the stuck feeling than the feeling of the food moving through, then I would worry. But that's just me.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
