Got banded April 11 13 ... Please if anyone had it done the same day or time frame please hit me back.. Just curious on things about the band. Still having some pain around port....

Hello, my name is Connie I had the band (over my 13yrs ago bypass) on 2/27/13, I would really like to have someone to talk to on a daily basis if you are interested. I live in New Jersey. What are your questions?

Hi

Nine days in, still have a little pain around my port, totally normal so I'm told

Vickie x

I had mine done the day before you, what's up?

Congratulations on getting banded

my surgery was on the 5th, I feel great but once in awhile my incisions sting a little and my port will feel tender, bruised or kinda sting, I believe this is totally normal even now for me 11 days out, but if your worried you can call your DR. thats what there for and, their used to answering questions, I called mine a few days ago :wub: . Good luck!

Yes I would love to make new friends add me on Yahoo r. Levendoski @ Yahoo. Com

I was banded april 3 still a little sore around port not too bad tho mainly when I bend the wrong way

Oh I forgot and dr told me tue that it was normal

I got band a little after you did on the 18th. Physically I feel great I just having a little itching around the incisions area but other than that Im a ok.

I was banded on the 11th also. My port incision is sore too. In fact, I still am considerably sore. I am glad I work from home because I would have never made it back to work on time.

Your port area will be sore for a while. Just take it easy. It bugged me for a month and then one day it just stopped and I could sleep on that side again. Its stitched into the muscle, so it will hurt until its not as irritated.

I was banded 3/25/13 by week four you won't feel your band at all. Right now slow your activity down your still healing on the inside.
