OK, so it's not horrible pain, but I still have to catch my breath on occassion. I have significant pain at my port site. It is still swollen. Is this how it was for most of you? I saw the surgeon on Wednesday and he said everything looked fine. I'm still using liquid Tylenol twice a day on average and last night slept in a chair 'cuz I just couldn't get comfortable in bed. Everything else is going great . .. I'm eating what I'm supposed to, I'm walking every day, I'm losing weight even. Just wondering when I'll be pain free ?:unsure:

The pain is real! No one ever really feels good after a major surgery. Give it some time take the meds and follow band rules it may take a few weeks it may take a few days everyone is different. I was running around Disney World only two weeks after I was banded. Keep moving. Best wishes imaluckydog

I think everyone's experiences are different. I know that I didn't have much port site pain at all and the gas pains faded after a few days, BUT I had bad esophageal spasms for a week. You might just take a little longer to heal. Be patient and it should fade soon!

OK, thanks everyone . . . Kathleen, sorry you still have discomfort at 6 weeks, but at least lets me know I'm not the only one. I am taking it as it comes . .
