Is this normal??

Hello everybody!

Im a new bandster~ just got mine 11/4 and am still adjusting. Right now the only thing Im really concerned about is the pressure I feel in my stomach, just below my breasts (im assuming thats probably where the band is. When Im sitting upright is bothers me more , but its a feeling of pressure. when I lay on my back if I push on the area it feels the same~ a pressure like feeling ( I know, I know Im pushing on it, but its not that kind of pressure!) It almost feels like gas that wont come up. should I be worried? I have my one week follow up on Friday and will address it then as well. Help!

could be gas, could be your port but highly unlikely you can actually feel your band. Why not ask at your check up.

Good luck.

Thanks for your reply! I dont think what Im feeling is the band, but I was concerned about swelling and such (internally). I found a thread that was posted by someone who was feeling exactly as I do now and I got alot of reassurance from that thread. I will still check with my doc on Fri, but im sure everything is going as it should.
