Lap band to rny revision- having issues

On March 28th I had my lap band removed. I was just shy of 10 years of having it. My surgeon said that it had started to embed itself into my liver so I am so glad I decided to get a revision when I did.

What I did not expect and am wondering if it is normal is the intense pain where my port was. The pain radiates all the way around to my back when I walk or stand. The only time I find relief as if I am in a reclined position either on a chair or in bed.

I am 1 week post-op today and eating with the gastric bypass is so much easier compared to the lap band so I am so thankful for that. But this pain on my right side is intense and causes me to cry and feel really discouraged with my healing process. Anyone else who has had their band removed deal with this? I have a doctor's appointment in the morning so I'm very anxious to talk to him about this issue.
