Hello. I have been banded for 2 weeks and 2 days. I have been great. No pain, etc. But today, sometimes when I take really deep breaths I feel a soreness/pain around my port area. I was working out on my eliptical and a could really feel the discomfort. It isn't constant just when I move or breath certain ways.

Anyone else have this? The site looks great, healing nicely. I am just worried since I haven't felt this before.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?:help:

I understood that I am not to exercise for six weeks. Perhaps it's too early for you to be on the elliptical?

You were told not to exercise for six weeks? Wow. I was told to get up and moving as soon as possible. I asked how soon I could use treadmill etc. they said as soon as I felt comfortable. It is not vigorous, just moderate activity.

However, I was told NO abdominal specific exercises until 6 weeks minimum (cruches, ball work)

Walking, yes, but not exercise. I guess every doctor is different.
