I know I keep asking the same question again over and over again, but am I going to feel this band inside of me?? Am i going to feel completley different from how I feel now. Am I going to feel tighting inside???

Not at all, you don't even know it's in there....you will feel port tenderness for the first 4 weeks around your largest incision, but other than that, you wouldn't even know you have a foreign object inside.

Stop worrying...you will be fine!!! Don't over think it.

Deep breath and relax okay!

That was the same question I asked. I am getting my band in 2 more days so I promise to come back and tell ALL! ;)

I have been banded less than 3 months and lost 30 pounds, so I can feel the port easily under the skin. It does not hurt and it doesn't show, only the scar shows. If it gets to be a problem and shows through the skin when I reach my goal weight and am at my sweet spot, the doctors in TJ said they will put it under the muscle instead of on top.

I don't feel any different, I want to. I want to not be able to eat so much and get a big enough fill. Don't worry, no one I have met ever regrets getting banded. The proof is in the weight loss for me.
