I was banded Feburary 4 2008 and I do remember feeling the same way,but now I really don't feel the port and it doesn't bother me!! Give it another month or two it gets better!
I also had my lap band done on Monday,I have some pain but mostly soreness.I am taking lortab liquid every 4hours for pain,my problem is Gas Pains I walk around the house and took gas x but still have so much gas.I really don't feel like eating the soup broth,juice,ice pops are holding me.I can say the more you move the pain will get better...Good luck
