I too was banded on the 25th. I start back at work tomorrow and not sure if I am ready. My port is around by belly button and pants seem to bother it. I will have to find something to wear.
I also had bad pain in my chest that felt like I was having a heart attack or something....it feels better today...thank goodness.
I do feel I am one of the lucky ones though because I have been up and about since day 2...by day 3 I was shopping and at the movies.
I wish everyone the best of luck and I really enjoy reading everyone's messages.
