I have pain in my right side (near where the port is) when I sit. If I am sitting in a recliner where I keep my abdomen perfectly straight, I'm fine, but if I sit in any other kind of chair, even sitting up straight, I have a good deal of pain. Has anyone else experienced this? It doesn't feel like the port pain after surgery. It radiates from my right side around to my back. I am 5 weeks out from surgery.

I also have pain in my left side, but I can't tell if it's from the band, nerve, or maybe a muscle ache. I have not overeaten, and I have never PB'd or vomited, nor have I been nauseous. It usually starts a couple of hours after I eat. Is this pain from gas?

I don't know if this is normal post-op or not. I am very active with a toddler, who I lift and carry a lot during the day, I have a physical job, and I have been exercising a lot more than I was 5 weeks ago. Not sure if this could be a nerve or muscle issue, or if I'm doing something wrong being newly banded.

I had a pain on my right sight for a while, the dr. said it was due to the port pain and muscles being stitched.

But, you might talk to your surgeon about this, he would be the best to tell you if this is something to worry about.
