Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
Gralda replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi everyone, I am 4 days past surgery and tonight, my port site has a yellowish discharge and is a little itchy. The steristrips are still on as is the clear plastic bandage but it's leaking. It's got me scared. Anyone experience anything similar? thanks. -

I had my surgery Tuesday. The gas pain was pretty bad but better today. I still have pain in my chest though and hoping that is gas too....Good luck to you. -
I was banded May 6th, would like to hear from those of you banded same day!! thanks

Can you tell me the symptoms? I was just banded on Tuesday and have some pain behind my breatbone, seems to come and go and doesn't seem to just happen when I ingest something. The pain is sharp.

I was banded on Tuesday, still have shortness of breath, anyone else have trouble taking a deep breath? and yes I am still pretty swollen too. The gas pains are getting less each day too. Soups seem to help me.

Hi I am 3 days post band and have same issue but since we are only ingesting liquids, I guess I am not surprised.

I keep taking the GasX strips, I think they are helping but the pain just seems to shift to a new spot. Still hurts to take a full breath but called the doctor and they said that was normal. Thanks for your replies and encouragement. Gralda -

Hi everyone, got my band yesterday. The gas is really the toughest part, trying to walk every hour to see if it helps. Did anyone also have a hard time taking a deep breath? It hurts a lot right under my breast bone when I try to breath normally. Gralda -

Thanks to everyone who writes on this board. I get my band tomorrow morning at 8 am. I am very excited and not as nervous as I was before I started to read this board. I will let everyone know how it goes. Thanks again!! -

Hi Everyone, this forum is wonderful, I have learned so much from reading everyone's posts but I admit what I have learned has increased my fear factor. I am most scared of the PB and choking because of it. My sons aren't too excited about me doing this but my husband is very supportive. I haven't told anyone else. I appreciate all your candor.
