I haVe belly-ached several times on here about still having discomfort mostly from the port. IT finally happened! The discomfort/pain has finally subsided! I also found that walking/standing straighter eliminates feeling my port. Hope this helps someone else!!

Does anyone who did the Lap Band have any regrets?. Does anyone have any complications after the surgery?. Can you eat normal food now without any problems.

I had surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago and my port hurts. So at least there is hope. When I bend over it hurts the worst. I am sure it will feel better soon, but glad I read your post.

Chrissy10 - the port was horrible. I kept reading of people exercising within 3 weeks of surgery and I knew for me, the port area hurt to just walk! I was convinced something was wrong. Yes, it DOES get better.

I have NO regrets - just anxious to get the restriction.
