SO I WAS BANDED JUNE 17 AND ALL IS PRETTY WELL EXCEPT I WENT FOR A GOOD HARD WALK LAST NIGHT AND WHEN I WENT TO BED I FELT SORE IN THE RIBS AND CRAMPING LIKE I WAS KICKED IN THE RIBS. WHERE THE PORT IS IS REALLY SORE TO WHEN BENDING UP AND DOWN . SOME DAYS ARE FINE THEN OTHERS ARE LIKE OUCH DAMMIT. I AM EATING MUSHIES FOR ONE MORE WEEK AND FEEL I CAN EAT PROBALY MORE THAN I SHOULD BUT I HAVE NO RESTRICTION. IS ANYONE ELSE STILL SORE AND IN THE PORT AREA?:biggrin:

That's normal, and the pain under your ribs could either be just from walking too much or could be gas pains leftover from the surgery.

I was banded on June 30th and only feel sore in the area where my port it. That area is more tender, not do to infection, but because I seem to bump it more often or the seat belt strap just rubs against it more often. Under my port incision there a slight firmness about the size of a 50 cent piece. The surgeon said this is normal due to healing and should go away. When I sit for awhile or walk a bunch, it makes me like I am pregnant with a baby kicking me in the rib.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
