Is it possible to feel the band?

Since surgery, especially after drinking, it feels like I can feel the band. Am I nuts? Is it just the tightness of it since it's likely swollen from hiatal hernia repair? Or is it gas? It's not bad pain, just discomfort. The same feeling I used to get when I ate really oily foods pre-banding. What do you all think? Eating makes it go away temporarily.

I know the answer is to call the doctor (I will tomorrow morning), but til then, those who have been through the healing process, please weigh in.

It must have been gas because I don't feel it the same way this morning. Good.
