When I get the urge to burp or when I yawn I feel a strange sensation around what I can only guess is where my band is. It's making me a little nervous, has anyone else noticed anything like this?

The only time I feel mine is when I drink a very cold beverage and I can feel it funneling through... I have read that some people are just more aware of the band within their body though.

I can't feel mine at all. I do feel the port, but that's it. It's really strange when I read on here about someone being able to tell when their food moves through their stoma and how it feels when their pouch is full. I'm like, really?!?!?!? I can't distinguish any of that stuff!

I can feel a small pain or fullness when I need to burp.

Jess I can feel mine with a big stretch. Have you had a fill yet? Wait until you get a feel. It was the weirdest sensation.

My first fill I could definitely feel the liquid going into the band, it was an odd sensation.

I can't feel my band, but I can feel when food is just sitting there or when it slips through the band.

I haven't felt mine so far but my band is empty so I don't know if that makes any difference or not.

That sounds similar to what I'm experiencing. It's kind of like a painful hiccup.

I haven't had a fill yet, and the band was empty when it was put in. If I'm feeling this now I can't wait to see how it feels after a fill :-P

Does the hiccup happen when you are eating? If so this is a sign to stop and put your fork down.

I only get hiccups a few hours after I've eaten.

Mine is just post op swelling i keep saying that i feel the band when i drink too fast or burp it almost like a heart burn feeling maybe it just me
