Today makes one month post up. My stomach feels funny, won't stop sneezing, blowing my nose constantly, whenever I need to have a bowel movement my left shoulder hurts and when o sneeze also. My port area is still sore, my skin is burning and I can't close my pants. I'm unable to lay on my stomach or on my side yet. I'm going to see my doctor on the 2 nd but is this what life with the band is? I feel like I made a huge mistake. Won't stop burning and get the hiccups at least every other day. When I feel hungry my shoulder will hurt again, it's like it hurts whenever I have any physiological needs. Any feedback will be good at this point.

you sound like a lot going on

i would personally consult with your doctor as soon as you can

sneezing could mean allergies

port is sore as mine was for about a month so this seems normal

my left shoulder hurts sometimes usually if i eat too fast

please dont think you made a mistake as you have something inside to help you eat less

but this was this was major surgery and your body must heal..

I agree with CG, you are still healing. Listen to your body and by all means if you need the doctor call him early. No need to suffer. I sleep on my tummy all the time. BTW/

Sneezing is my signal to STOP eating!! Whatever it is for you, call your doctor's office on Monday. It doesn't sound like anything major, but only your doctor will know for sure. Also, I'll bet a month from now you're loving your band instead of wondering what you've done...

My port area was sore for nearly two months. The burning, I also had on and off for about the same time. That's from nerves being cur when the incisions are made. It WILL go away. You'll feel so different in a few weeks. Hang in there. I felt so much different at two months post-op from the way I felt at one month out.

Don't burden yourself worrying if you made a mistake...

Spend this time healing and learning about your body and your ful signs. Many people sneeze or get hiccups when they're full

Thank you Caroline, I hope thA you are rite.

Are you feeling any better at all? That's got to be a drag. Sorry you're miserable ((()))

Today is better because I only have the burning skin and port discomfort. But when it's all at the same time I just want to cry. Last night I was in a lot of discomfort with port and skin and shoulder but I managed to fall asleep without any pain meds. thx for asking

Also I ate something before I got hungry. I've noticed that my shoulder starts hurting before I get hungry, or have to go to the bathroom.
