  1. Unfortunately in the UK the port is placed between and beneath the breasts - presumably attached to the sternum - I can feel this and it's fine. The other pain is more localised to the left hand side - presumably where the band wraps arounnd the stoumach??? Any Ideas?
  2. Higuys - some advice needed - I'm 1 month post op - recovery fine - no restriction yet - and fill in 2weeks. However I do get a pain when I lie on my left hand side or on my front. I know that this is where the band is - should the healing be further on by this time or am being paranoid?? It feels that I am pushing the band or rather that whatever ties have been made to the abdominal wall are being stretched - is this nonsense or is there any grain of truth??:confused:
  3. Male lap band buddy needed - surgery on 5th SDeptember BMI 59 - and understandably reticent- anyone help me??
