Is it in my head?

I've been banded now for 3 weeks, and I think that I can feel the band.
It's not painful or uncomfortable, its just like I can tell something is there.
Does anyone else have this feeling?
Thanks!

<p>I don't think you can feel &quot;the band&quot; per se. What you DO probably feel is the constriction now, and that kindof thick feeling will dissipate by the end of the first month. That's the healing process. The only time you will feel anything is in learning how to eat all over again. You and your digestive system (with your band quietly in control) will become intimate partners. You will introduce foreign substances into your mouth (i.e., food) and your band will say, &quot;Hmmm. Shall we let this pass quickly or shall we just sit on it for a while and think about it?&quot; and you will become the official monitor and partner to your gatekeeper. Quite a learning process. The only thinig you can probably feel is your port.</p>
