I was banded on the 12th as well. I feel pretty good other then trying to get up and sometimes i move the wrong way. I have the pain as well below my incision where the port is. My surgry coordinator told me the very bottom of the port has a few claws to hold the port in place to your muscle. So when you move a certain way it is tender. She said it will get better. I was told i could take Tylenol liquid for the muscle aches. Hope this helps. I just went in for my Post op today and I am down 15 lbs and get to start trying mushy foods. First fill is in 3 weeks. Good luck everyone!
