Did you post it here on post-operative because this thread gets the most traffic? Is your port on your left side - that could be the cause of the pain. If not, it's probably just post operative pain and normal but you should always check with your doctor about any pain that you don't think is normal.

I know I was in pain for two weeks - especially the port area. But to listen to some you'd think you should be pain free the next day and back at work the day after that.

This is major surgery. There will be pain.

Sorry to hear that, I know all of us want feed backs on our post!!

I think everyone is different as far as pain tolerance. The port area will take longer. I think even at 6 months sometimes I would feel my port kinda hurting - just a tiny pain. My insicions didn't hurt that much. I can tell you that I had a second surgery about 3 weeks ago because I had an unresolved slipped and its been taking me longer to recupperate. That's why I say everyone and every situation is different. This time they didn't even touch my port, but my insisions still hurt - like they are really bruised. I guess because of all the scar tissue.

Hang in there, I know for me every day it gets better. You will be so glad when you see awesome results.

I hope you feel better soon. I am 13 weeks post op and it took about 2 weeks for all of my 'big' pains to go away, and about 6 weeks until I felt human and normal again. I'm sorry for your discomfort, and all I can say is, "Hang in there, it will get better." Good luck on your journey

OMG i am sooo sorry you had to have surgery again!!!

everyones nightmare, right?

take care and thanks

I think that people sometimes forget about the search function on this site. If you've been here long enough you simply can't reply one more time to posts about shoulder pain after surgery, bandster hell etc. I've posted so many supportive responses over time that I think I've done my share. Have you? I respond to the threads that interest me now. The ones with good subject lines and thought provoking subjects. The rest is searchable! I hope you're feeling better though. You will.

Ocean I have noticed sometimes there seems to be a bit cliquish, but for everyone that look us over, there are three that acknowledge us and show kindness. Don't give up. I hope you fee better...

THANKS SO MUCH

Hey Oceangirl. I was banded on 2/17 and I still get that left side pain. I have two incisions on that side with my port by my belly button on the right. The left incisions hurt more and feel like a sharp pain in the ab muscles when I sit up or cough. Forget sneezing, I almost pass out from that pain. The doctor told me that it's the are where she places the deep tissue stitches, and then uses the dermabond (blue) on the outside. Maybe that's the same pain you're having? The deep stitches go into the upper ab area, which is pretty painful. It gets better each day; hope you feel better soon!

yes, i have and i said that in my post if you read it

and i guess i am just over sensitive right now

I understand about being overly sensitive - my fourth and fifth day post-op I would walk around the house waiting for the gas pains to ease up and I would just bust into tears. It's understandable...if it makes you feel any better I was banded last Thursday and the majority of my sensitivity is on my left side as well...sometimes when I roll over in bed I swear I can actually feel the port in my side.
