I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow. I'm almost back to normal with the exception of bad bloating and constipation - on mushy food. Also, every once in awhile. Will get a sharp pain at the port site. Is this normal?

I was banded on the mar 21. I have that pain at the port site from time to time. also i feel like i can eat at least 2 cups of food at a sitting, what about you?

I was banded the 19th and still have pain in the port site especially after exercising. I have also read several others that were banded about the same time experiencing the same thing....so I guess its still healing in there.

Whinniewho- I can eat about 4oz of protein/ 4oz of a salad/ and Maybe 2 oz of a carb..for dinner.....lunch is smaller about 4oz Protein and I'm good to go....I just drink protein for Breakfast.

i hurt about that long also. i remember calling a friend asking her if it was normal and she said yes. she also explained to me to think about how much they had to cut through and it was a pretty big opening and they proably had to shove that port through that hold and stitch it back up LOL... so then i understood hahaha!!! it will get better.. mine hurts now every once in a while if i bump it etc!!!

I was band dec /11 and I still every once and a while have a little pain at port site.

still have port pain and can't lay on my stomach for long periods...banded in feb 12

I was banded March 13th and I did have anything pain with the port area until 2 weeks post op now I get sore and sharps pains every once in a while. I can feel the port and feels like its placed in there correctly and I do not have any bruising. I think its just going to take some time to heal hopefully that comes soon. I am now 4 weeks post op in a couple of days and still getting the soreness and sharp pains.

I also got banded on the 21st (3 weeks out) and am having port pain. My surgeon just called to check on me and I asked him about it and he assured me it is normal because it is the only place they put sutures in the facia. So i guess we're all doing fine! Just gotta hang in there and enjoy the weight loss
