Hello Everyone... I was banded 12/27 and I think my body is still ging through the healing process. I have been experiencing this weird, almost shap, pain under my skin. I think it's where the band is as it is inbetween my port, left side of stomach, and the healing incision above my belly button. Sometimes it can be very painful, especially when I bend over or sit down. I can sometimes feel it when I lay on my right side.

I welcome comments and suggestions. Thanks!

I had the exact same feeling, your body is still healing and you are still swollen. I had surgery on Dec.14,2010 and just now can really sleep on my right side and not feel that strange sensation. It will get better.... GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY!

I was banded on 12/10. I have also had a weird pain near my port. My nurse said everyone experiences different pains. They come and go. It's all a part of the healing process. Mine is when I drink too fast. Or if I walk too much. But, it's going away. I just say my stomach is still pissed at me :-)

Good Luck! If it makes you nervous call your dr.

Did you have a hernia repaired too? That caused the most discomfort for me, although it's not really in the area you described. Strangely, I hurt several inches below my port for a few weeks, especially when I bent over. Physician assistant said it was normal.

I had a pain very similar to what you describe. It ended up being my port. it's attached to muscle, so when those muscles are flexed (like when you bend over) you feel the pain. You constantly use those muscles, so It was that last thing to heal, but it eventually went away. That was just my experience... good luck with everything!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
