Question To Those That Have Had The Band Already

Can you guys feel the band or feel the food being pushed thru the band?

No.

I can only feel food go through if I take too big a bite or eat too fast. Otherwise no, I can't feel it.

I am just like Missy...I can only feel food pass through when I take too big a bite, or eat too fast.

ditto on what they said... But it's kind of neat (and a relief) how it feels when it finally moves thru the stoma... and when I first wake up and get a drink of water from the fridge I can feel it go all the way down.

Missy is right. I only feel food if I eat too big a bit or too fast. When this happends my band is very vocal. It gurggles as the food moves through, makes my step daughter laugh at me.
