I had swelling and a lot of pain at the port site for the first couple of weeks, I even had muscle spasms that were horibly painful. Went to the ER they did a CT scan and all was fine, just irritated the muscle where they attached the port. I am almost 6 weeks out and no problems.

I had the same thing but it does slowly go down - it is only natural to worry since all these things going are are new and weird! 1 week to my banding I started my period so I had that cramp with the other pain and I was VERY ticked off to say the least! I am now 3 weeks out and doing much better - feeling like myself again. hang in there!

Im 7 days post op, and Im noticing the same thing... as with the other ladies, you just have to wait it out and the swell and soreness will dissipate... hang in there!

I had my surgery on Friday Aug. 13th and i was thinking the same thing, when is this pain going to go away. I guess every ones healing process is different. I to started my period 5 days in and i'm so irritated right now...i don't know if the pain is related to the surgery or to my cramps...lol sucks!

thankuou for all you kind word's and support

i just want this to go away.

cheers nel
