I was banded on 04/09/07 and I am still in pain:cry .

Oddly enough my Doc said my port site would be the sore spot but it is the other way around. My band spot is killing me (not to mention lump underneth).

Anyone else experience this? Not to mention no bm yet. Again anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!

What you're experiencing is pretty typical. I can tell you that it was about 5 weeks before all aches and pains left me.

As far as the BM, you might want to consider a gentle laxative.

You are hurting where there is no incision? Is that what I am understanding? Did you let your Dr. know it is in a different area than you expected pain? I have never felt my band in that way. When I over eat, I feel food try to move through, that is the only manner in which I have ever felt the band itself.

Can you elaborate on what type of pain---shooting, dull ache, throbbing? And exactly where it is you are hurting at? If so maybe someone can relate to what is happening with you, and share some ideas while you wait to talk to your Dr.

Hang in there!

I think I should be more clear on were I have the pain and lump. Sorry for the confusion. On my left side is my port incision, above that and on the front is my incision for the band. That is were it is very sore. ie: bending, coughing, touch, laughing. Underneth the incision is a lump the size of my palm.

Hope this helps anyone be able to compare notes.

Sorry you are still in a lot of pain. I was banded on the same day!

I still have a lot of soreness in the area. I would not call it constant pain, but it sure still hurts a lot. Do you have a lot of bruising?

How are you feeling? I feel totally washed out and still weak. Maybe I am expecting too much?

Are you able to get around and do things?

I was the opposite with the BM..everything went right trough me until Yesterday. That could be the reason I am so weak.

Hope you are feeling better soon!
