  1. Hi, I was banded last week and today is my first back to work. I do admin work so nothing heavy duty. I haven't had a bowel movent yet but i'm a little afraid of the pain. It hurts when i cough so i can imagine having a bowel movement. Yikes. I think i can feel my port beneath my lower right breast and my bra is not making it any better. After belching, there is pain in my center chest, mild pain but still pain. Is this normal? I have cravings for regular foods, will this go away soon? My stomach growls more frequently now. I havent had the urge to vomit, which is a good sign but i only eat small portions when i do, i can feel myself getting full then i stop eating. But shortly after that, im hungry again. I just want to be sure its working properly. I know i may be paranoid, but it doesnt hurt to ask questions. :cursing:
