Discomfort around Lap Band/and or port sites??
PittsburghPatient posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have only been banded for about a week now and I'm not really in any pain anymore. My incisions are nearly healed and I feel fine, other than some slight discomfort I am feeling on the side where the band and port or placed. If I lay on either side, the side that my band is on feels uncomfortable. Even when I'm just sitting down it is noticible, almost as if I can feel the actual band inside of me....Has anyone experienced this? Am I just still a little sore from surgery?? Any comments welcome!!! Thanks! -
good luck with your appointment! although you are self-pay you will most likely have to do all the pre-op testing before they give you a surgery date. do you know if you still have to do the lifestyle classes and/or meet with a pcp before hand? hopefully everything works out for u!

Hello, I have an appt with Dr. McCloskey next Tuesday, August 9th. I've heard soo many wonderful things about her so I decided to go with her. I am self pay so I'm hoping for surgery this month. So happy to hear you are doing well!!!

too excited to sleep!! i'm down a total of 13 pounds since surgery (6 days) and feeling great!!! can start to see facial changes and boosts of energy! experimenting with some soft foods & am able to keep cheese down!

good luck with your surgery!! my stay was about 2 days...pain is very minimal-they give you a morphine pump to control your pain with. my incisions are tiny and already healing. are you having the plication done as well?

I would love to keep in touch with you. Ill be having my surgery on the 18th. We are both from Pittsburgh

PittsburghPatient replied to LisaB68's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i didnt have to do a pre-op diet either. i only had to stop eating solids the day before and nothing after midnight.
