I was banded July 24th and it's been a very easy process...today I have started getting sharp pains when I take a deep breath on the same side as my port...should I be worried??

You're only 6 days post op, you're still healing. I'm sure what you're feeling is part of it.

Best wishes.

use the breather machine

I wasnt given a breather and I am not sure if its the same thing yo are having but I was banded on the 25th and am still having sharp pains too from my diaphram spasms... maybe this is it. kinda makes it hard to get a deep breath, and especially when i have been laying down... its like my ribs ache and then the spasms start... thought at first something may be wrong with my bend... but when I rub it, it helps. It will happen on and off throughout the day too, almost like I have to burp... but get nothing? I am told this is normal, so I hope this helps, and for both our sake I pray this passes quickly! Best of luck to you. I am soo excited for you... keep in touch and keep us updated k

You are both in the healing process! Take care, you will feel hurts and gas and all sorts of bad things the 1st week. If you have no sudden temp rise or bad smell coming from your incision, you should be okay. Call your surgeon with any questions! Best wishes for a smooth healing process, get up and walk!!!!

Thanks y'all! I'm glad to know there's others besides me that are going through this or have been through it and will tell us what to expect! Hope u get to feeling better and I'm up and walking! Lol!

i had sharp pains too. i was told they were spasms. i haven't had any since the first week though

remember they cut your stomach when they operated. expect some pain. if it a 9 to 10, call the doctor.

should you be worried, no. only if the pain is extremely intense.
