Six days post-op and I'm feeling pretty good. Still hold my port area a little bit but hardly at all. I'm completely off the pain meds. I'm not hungry at all (thank the lord). However, yesterday I had a very sore throat and it was all white with little bumps on the roof of my mouth (almost like I burned it) - this is gone today but its replaced by a cough. It's a sore throat type cough and I'm worried....will it make my band slip to cough? My band has no restriction yet and won't until Aug 20th.
