Your fine. Your body is just accepting the band well. Dont worry you can
not dislodge the band easily.

Rose, I too didn't have any problems once the band was in. I know it is
working because I'm loosing weight. Keep reading all the posts. They have
been such a great help to me. Best of luck in you journey, Mary-Anne

You have not even had your 1st fill so you are doing great. I didn't have
any pain either. Nothing to worry about. Susan

I'm glad there is no pain. Post on the lap band boards to start getting
better thoughts on how things are going for others. Good Luck to you.
Congratulations on your surgery going well. Corina

Congrats on your band surgery! : ) I started feeling better around day 13
after my band surgery. I agree with the other responses that you're
probably where you need to be. I've had four fills and really didn't feel
restriction (except first thing in the morning) until my fourth fill at 4.5
cc's and then I started having food get stuck if I didn't chew really well.
I think I'm where I need to be until I lose more weight and my stomach
shrinks more and then the band will need more adjusting. This is a slow
process but one that I was willing to live with. I wish you all the best.

Rose, I had LAP/RNY two years ago and didn't have any pain. Consider
yourself lucky!

My doctor told me that a couple weeks after my surgery I'd wonder if he did
anything at all to me. So it's normal to feel like nothing was really done.
I think once you get the first fill, then you'll be able to tell more.
