Hi Phili! Congrats on your band. Pain 5 days out is very normal. It will get better every day, but I had some soreness (especially in the port area) for two weeks following surgery. You're definitely over the worst of it now though. It's great to hear that you're home and doing well!

Welcome home, welcome to bandland, and welcome to "Oh ow ow ow! Does this every go away?!" hehe

Every day gets better! Rest lots, walk all you can, and sip, sip, sip! Get as much Water in as you can to keep from dehydrating. You sound very chipper!
