Does it feel weird??



Recommended Posts

I have this crazy idea in my head that the band is going to feel wiggly and weird inside my stomach :blink: . Can you feel it? Does it ever hurt? Fill me in peeps, I've got 4 days left!

Nope, I do not feel it at all. I can feel my port but that is it! Congrats on your surgery.

No, I cannot feel the band, only the port and I couldn't feel that so much until I lost a substantial amount of weight.

I don't feel the band either, but like the others have mentioned I definitely feel my port, especially if I get gassy or bloated. According to the nurse at the dr's office, because the port is so close to the intestines gas can make it protude. It's not visible yet(still too much belly fat), but it's palpable.

I can feel it any time I swallow anything, or burp. But like, right now, do I feel it? Nope!

If I sneeze really hard I can fee the band. I can feel where the port is located when I touch it. It seems like it will be weird or scary, but I look at the band as no different than a joint replacement or breast implants... just another medical device.

Never have felt my band, but my port is right up front always. It is a little tilted and I swear it has a pimple on it on the inside but no pain.

My surgeon explained that we do not have any nerves in the stomach tissue itself so you cannot feel the actual band around it. You will feel new sensations, typically while eating but most of that is felt in the esophagus.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
