Something inside me

Does anyone else think they can feel the band inside them. I mean like when you burp or pass gas or something. Not like though the skin. I swear when I get the hicups or burp I can feel the band inside me. Like its bumping up against something. I dont know its hard to explain. I get hicups all the time and its horrible, its not real horrible pain but it sure does stop me in my tracks. If Im trying to talk I have to stop its almost like my breath was just swept away. Also if I dont eat. Im just three days out from surgery but if I havent had any Protein drinks in a few hours I have the same feeling. Am I crazy?

I could feel it the first week...

Yes, I used to be a "stomach sleeper" I can't anymore cuz when I roll over on to my stomach it pokes me in my sternum. LOL... I think! Anyway it's uncomfortable like something is poking me! This is the only time I notice it.

Yes, I can feel mine sometimes. It is strange, but after time it feels like a normal body part. I am so used to it that it feels like an extra body part I've had all along. Does that make sense? oh well, it does to me .....yes, I can feel it :)
