I just had lap band on fri 8/14.  The day of surgery, I don't think I felt it, but yesterday & today it's like I feel pressure from the band just sitting there.  Sort of aches and sometimes I have to stretch up and take a deep breath.  I will have first fill in 3-4 weeks, so I'm wondering if that will be even worse.  Anyone else ever experience this?

I've had my band for a year and 5 mos. now.  Only lately have I had an occasional episode of the band "aching".  You are probably still swelled (inside, at least) from the surgery.  Give yourself some time and you'll be fine.  Good luck.
