I too have pain there. Sometimes just the slightest movement produces stabbing and burning pains. I'm told this will subside around 4 weeks post op... had my surgery on 4/17..so that's two more weeks. Hard to get up & down and even just standing / walking soemtimes produces this. I'm told just the stitches inside healing & attaching to the muscles... As long as you can drink / eat without reflux, I'm told it's normal.

Sore throat 3 days post op, any ideas?

My throat hurt too when I woke from surgery. I wasn't aware they tube'd you during surgery, but they do (sometimes), and it causes some "sore throat" symptoms. Chewing on ice and swallowing some cold water helped...Although in the mornings, the hot liquid is required first. -
I was banded on April 17th, and had no pain the first week, but all of the sudden in the 2nd week, sharp stabbing pains on side when standing, sitting, or moving too fast. Just have to sit still for a while and allow total healing. I'm told 4 to 6 weeks for that, and even 6 months down the road, can have an occasional pain. Make sure to drink your protein shakes and take your chewables so that your body has enough energy to heal.
