Ouch!!!

[dee21 47]

Ok so I may have overdone it today. I'm day 6 post-op. I bent over to swat a bug of my leg and OUCH!!! It hurt so bad. I believe it is where my port is. I saw stars. Now it's just sore. I'm going to ice because it looks a little more swollen then earlier today. Any advice?? I hope I didn't do anything to harm my band!! ???ž

I'm sure you didn't do any damage. It does smart though when you hit it just right (wrong). As you heal more, you'll notice it less and less. It's just sore right now because the stitches holding it in place are so new.

I would ice it today for swelling. If after 24 hours it's still sore, a heating pad will hopefully help.

Hang in there

I agree, I actually moved the wrong way earlier today and I has a sharp pain there, but it seems to be getting better. I would also suggest watching it for 24 hours and call your DOC if it gets worse. You are still very tender in there lady, so just take it easy. No Super Woman for a few weeks:)

Thanks for the response. I'm taking it easy tomorrow for sure. Walk, rest,walk, rest. No cooking for the family, going to the movies or hanging out outside where bugs land on me. I hate bugs. Freak out with them. Very non healing friendly.

Have a great night ladies!!
