I was rebanded on April 11th and also had a hernia repaired at the same time...my port was not replaced...I have been having severe pain under my left breast for almost a week now it started after going for a walk I called my DR a few days ago and was told it is normal because so much manipulation was done in that area ..Everytime i take a deep breath it hurts so bad i could cry ....i am not having trouble with food getting stuck at all i am eating small amounts and chewing well...fluids also go down fine ....i dont know what to do my dr just said to take it easy with excercise because it can take 4-6 weeks to completely heal

Im so sorry your in pain...It sounds like a air pocket it happened 2 me also and it lasted a week and a half but it went away i just kept walking around the house and it woud go away slowly until it was gone ...i hope it goes away soon feel better....Jim

Walking and a heating pad. If you need pain meds and are out, call your surgeon to let him know.
