Ok so since I last posted on thursday morning a lot has happened. I got a call back from the Doctor's nurse about me being in pain and all and she said I need to go directly to the emergency room if I am having that type of pain. My worst fear was that they were going to have to remove the band. Well I got there and they did xrays and blood work and everything came back fine. I don't see why though cause every time they laid me down I burst out in tears because I was gasping for air. So it was time for my pain pump to be removed. The one that was supposed to be lower the pain around my stomach area. Well I thought that it was the problem all along and turns out I was right. The moment he removed it I took a deep breathe and was soooo relieved. I don't see why though it hurt so much. So i went home and did normal things as opposed to before. That night I slept on my back which I couldn't do before and it felt good. So friday I cleaned my room and walked the treadmill about 45 mintues on and off. Saturday I didn't do much and my pain was eased to a minimum where I haven't needed to take my pain medicine. Sunday night I had to go to work and work 7p-7a as a unit secretary. I made it through the night but I was in pain because of my bra was sitting on my incision. Also every time I walked it was like my port was jiggling I think it was because of the fat. So today has been good I picked up a couple things for my apartment and have been out a lot and in minimum pain. The one thing or two things I hate right now is yawning and sneezing they make you hurt so bad to where you kinda hesitate before doing it. Most of my coughing pains are away just a few happen on very deep inhalations. I will post a separate post on Protein bars and drinks I just tried that are good.

Glad you're feeling better! Amazing how our body "knows" what's wrong.. even if we don't realize it at the time... I always say "listen to your body, not your doctor" lol.. so glad you're feeling better!
