I had the lap band about 2 years ago now. I can feel the band around the upper part of my stomach and a sort of tension and uncomftorable feeling there. I used to breathe in pretty hard sometimes also but that has gone away. The lap band gives me an uncomftorable feeling. I also sometimes feel low and sad because of the lap band.

Please get it checked by your surgeon. This isn't normal and if ignored, might develop into something serious. Best wishes.

@@Green1 -- I agree with JWM. You should have a checkup. You make it sound as though it's been a while, anyway.

I don't understand at all what you mean about breathing.
