I was banded 6/23/08 and usually about noon, I start getting SEARING pain around my port. Not the port incision, but the actual port. If I lay down for a few minutes, it goes away. But then, if I move just wrong! YOWSERS! It is getting better, it's just a slow process. Hope you get well soon!

Sorry to hear about your bowel back up Patunia. Triple Leaf Super Slimming Herbal Tea works better than any other laxative I've ever tried. Guaranteed to have a movement within 8 hours and once you start, you may go a couple of times within the same hour and then you're back to normal.

are you sure your port is not infected??? i just cannot believe that i am still in as much pain (doc says it's normal) this thing (surgery) whooped my butt......by the end of the day i am exhausted and just want to sleep

i had surgery a wk ago and im in total pain can barley breath with the pain i have coming from my left side i think its gas pain but im nervous it's not i have bad heartburn also i though maybe my band slipped but im not vomiting nor am i feeling nauseous i thinking to myself what have i done i hope it gets better for all of us
