Can you FEEL the band?
In my experience, you cannot feel the BAND. Since it's around the stomach, you cannot feel it externally or internally. You'll never know it's there.
However, if you are skinny enough you will be able to feel your port (or so I have been told). More then likely it will be located on your left side, below your rib cage. I have too much "insulation" to feel mine, but many "skinner" friends can feel theirs.
Please feel free to write to me if you have any other questions.

I still find myself thinking I haven't had anything done...then when i eat...oooh....thats right...i better get a box to take that home. the only difference i feel is when i drink something real cold or take pills i can feel them go all the way down...doesnt hurt...kinda cool...as for physically feeling the band...No...don't feel a thing! The port...don't notice it a bit once it healed...that took a few weeks. Now that i'm 4 months out I don't notice a difference from before i had surgery except the 5 sizes i have lost and the smaller meals i eat. Also since i had surgery i "realized" i sigh when it's time for me to stop eating. That was something new too.
