Hi everyone! I got banded on Oct 1st and had my first post op appt today. There is some concern that I've been overdoing things (44 yr old married mom of 2 grade schoolers) and may have torn some stitches around the port. I started hurting in the port area 2 days ago. The surgeon says I'm still pretty swollen so he won't be able to tell anything till my first fill on Nov. 8th. I'm under orders to take it easy and no bending or twisting. Not sure how to avoid the bending entirely since I even bend a little when I'm eating (I mean drinking right now). Any advice would be appreciated and if anyone wants a buddy I could use one too. I live in Indiana. Thanks.
