After 3 weeks should my stomach (abdominals) still be so sore? It still hurts to get up from chair, roll over or get out of bed, etc. I'm not doing any heavy work, but have been walking a couple of miles a day or more. I was very bruised (entire stomach) after surgery, can this possibly be the cause. Any info is appreciated.

I had my surgery on the 29th. of October and I feel great. I haven't had any pain for about a week and a half. Maybe it is because you were so bruised. I would call my doctor and ask him/her for advice. Hope you feel better soon. Maggie:shades_smile:

I was banded 10-22. I still have pain occasionally at the port site. My dr said that is normal, and should decrease over time. Ok so WHEN? So I understand you dilema. I would discuss it with your dr or at least his nurse. Best of luck with your weight loss.

Mine hurt for awhile after too. Every step I took I would notice it. Then, about week 5, it stopped. Every now and then it is tender, but no biggy.

Thanks all.

I was banded on Nov. 5, and yesterday wad the first day where I did not have any pain whatsoever. Everyone heals differently.
