This may seem like a silly question iam five days post op where is the port I think I can feel something on my left side And it hurts?

So glad to see this post!..I had my band five days ago and I guess I'm a slow healer.my stomach is still very bloated and I had lost 8 pounds post op and now have gained a few pounds??i have been in severe pain since the surgery in my stomach back and side.last night I was hurting so bad I wanted to go to the ER but I took a pain pill because my family Dr gives them to me and I paced on my street and layed on a heating pad until it went away.i had a previous stomach surgery last year that was pretty severe and my DR said I had some scar tissue I have been drinking my 2 protein shakes and water and very little yogurt and jello and couldn't understand how I gained weight?..everyone on here is so nice and helpful how long does it take til you can start working out ?

I had sooo much trouble trying to urinate I'm five days post op and finally getting my bladder back to normal!..good luck hang in there it gets better

Thank for the great advice you guys! I really like this site

Thanks everyone so much for the advice !! I feel much better now knowing its normal!!i guess I need to try to walk more even though it hurts! I haven't had a normal BM so maybe that's it as well?...how soon do most people start working out after the band ?

I also had the band on 12/12 and I'm burping some but still in a whole lot of pain and very very swollen!!! I was told most people feel better and can go back to work in 3 to 4 days but it has been five days now and my top of stomach is so swollen and I have pain in my left side and my back!! Bad!!!!! I had a severe stomach surgery last year to remove some rumors I was told I had some scar tissue was thinking maybe that's why I hurt so bad... Had anyone else had this problem?

I had the lapband five days ago and I'm still hurting pretty bad! I feel like gravity is pulling my stomach down when I walk and I'm still very bloated and pain in my left side and back and stomach I had a severe stomach surgery last year and my Dr told me I had some scar tissue I was told most people feel better within two or three days and can go back to work..NO WAY ...I was hurting so bad last night I wanted to go to ER but I walked some and took a pain pill because I'm prescribed them by my family dr and I layed on a heating pad and it finally eased up! I wasn't hurting that bad until I ate some soup but I ate it slow and not alot I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem ??
