Feel the Band

I have a random thought so I thought I would ask... Can you feel the lap band in your body all of the time. I'm not asking if it hurts; rather, are you physically aware of it at all times? Thanks.. and as I said, just a random thought among my many.

I have had the band since 10-10-07 and no I can't feel the band inside me.

When you tighten you tummy muscles up you can feel the ridge where the port is , but that is only if you know where it is and are feeling for it.

I've only been banded 6 days but no I can't physically feel it in there. Some things... like jello.. make my chest feel kind of heavy feelingish.. but that's it.
