Had my band a week but cant feel it.,,

[becky2123]

So my bands been in a week but I don't feel anything! I feel like I could eat anything which obviously I'm not I'm following my liquid diet. I keep accidentally taking big gulps of my tea and it goes down no problem like there's nothing there! I know the band is empty but surely there should be swelling!! Is this normal??

Completely normal! The thought passed my mind in the early days that nothing was there, when you move onto solids you'll feel it

Yes I remember feeling like that too ! Trust us it's there ! Xx

I'm glad it's not just me!!!!!!

completely normal and can be that way after a number of fills too! I've had my band for over 2 years, 22 fills not that I'd notice it was there!

Don't worry, it's there.

You'll soon notice once you've started having fills. The worst time I found was when the hunger returned after the 1st and 2nd fills. I could have eaten a horse between two mattresses!

It's a slow process! Good luck x
