Mine is on the left also, right under the largest incision. It is still sore, especially when I bend over at the waist. I am 2 1/2 weeks post-op

Got banded on Sept. 26. I am also having sharp pains near my port if I move suddenly or sneeze! It helps to brace my tummy with a pillow. Am also having a little bit of left shoulder pain, nothing too terrible.

Hi, Kelli, I too am 4 days post-op and had my surgery on Monday. I am also still uncomfortable, and feeling "full" when I drink too much. But i am on liquids for 2 weeks also, and then on a pureed diet for 2 weeks after that. Maybe your tummy is not ready for cottaqe cheese and mashed potatoes yet. Maybe you could slow down a little on the soft foods and just stick to Protein Drinks and liquids for a few hours if you feel bloated. I have one incision that is pulling and pinching, near to where my port is, so this must be kinda normal. Hang in there! Valerie
