hi I have been banded 4 and 1/2 months lately it feels like my band is doing the hawaian dance flip floping around and at times it is itchy and burny and at times sometimes feels cold and wet i told the nurse all she said is its not to feel wet but getting in to see him is hard i was warned about this doctor the if things go wrong he wont be there for you i hoping this is not true there are no other doctors in my area just the one in his office not sure what to do any help would be great thanks lindaday:confused:

Gosh, hate that for you. I don't even feel my band except when I swallow something ... I can feel it pass through sometimes.

My port is a different story. I felt it at first only because it was foreign. Then months passed w/o even thinking about it.

But lately, like yesterday and today...it's .... it's... achey. if that's a word. It doesn't hurt but I feel better when I lay on my side w/ the port side down.

You really shouldn't be able to feel the band itself, and especially internal sensations of things like "wet"... hmm. Are you doing anything when you notice these feelings? Have you recently had anythign to eat/drink? Any particular movements? Any chance you're feeling cold things move through your stoma, so you're associating it with "the band"?
