6 weeks post banding and a bit uncomfortable

I was banded end of April and today I feel like I moved the wrong way did something to annoy the area or something because I'm having some discomfort in the area above the port. May just be gas (I'm VERY gassy) and it could be that I did a bit too much and my body is still not fully healed.

Are little aches and twinges around and above the port normal after 5 or 6 weeks. Can I still be healing?

My first fill is scheduled for next week.

Thanks_Gwenn

Hey gwen, I think its normal.. I was banded on April 15th, and I have really only been feeling normal (pain wise) for about 2 weeks. And about 1/12 weeks post op, I know i pushed too hard and was put back. Fatigued, sore all over again... and so on. Unless you are having very specific pain, my guess is you just need to take it easy. That being said, you know your body better than anyone and if you think there is a problem you should call your Dr. I wish you all the lucK!
