My incision was bruised as well, but now the bruising is gone....everyone heals differently

When I first had the surgery I could feel my port with no problem, but im over a month post op, I could still feel it a little but not as much as before.

Not sure how soon is too soon, but I had my surgery 10/7 and my doctor didn't allow me to go back to work until the 10/26.

tomorrow makes a month since my surgery and I still get the shoulder pains every now and then. walking and a warm pack helps....get well soon

you forgot me lol

wow, we had the same situation, I was banded 10/7 and on 10/13 they had to remove alll 3 ccs because I was swollen and the band was too tight too soon. I'm much better now, I go for my first fill on 11/17....can't wait to get the restriction back......get well soon

I use Muscle Milk Light......taste really good

Mine is right next to my belly button

The chest pain goes away, but I'm 26 days post op and I still get the shoulder pain every now and then. Gas-X and walking helps.....get well soon

I had the SILS procedure on the 7th and you can't even tell I had surgery because it's in my belly button area love it.

Hey everyone, I'm 21 days post op and this shoulder pain on my left side is unbearable......any suggestions on how long it lasts or what to do to get rid of it....thanks for any help

Thank you for the responses. HeatherO, I didn't get a hernia repair, but when I spoke to the doctor he says it's gas and to keep walking. He also suggested sleeping flat on the floor. You desribed my pain exactly a pinching sensation, the worst. I will try soaking and sleeping on the floor.

I'm haven't posted since the day before my surgery. I was banded on 10/7/09 and it was a painful and interesting experience. The shoulder and chest pain was almost unbearable and I ended up staying 3 days in the hospital because I kept throwing up. I didn't go back to work until today. The first week and half were tough, but I feel much better and able to exercise. Biggest advice: walk and Gas-X lol. No regrets and currently healing and learning how to eat agin. My first fill is scheduled for 11/17/09. :wink2:

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I will definately keep everyone posted. @Deekel, I currently don't get the gas pain in my chest anymore, but I still get the pain in my left side of my back/shoulder, it's the worst. Just about once a day, try walking my often and Gas-X helps as well. Get better soon. I was pushed to the mushy stage early, but mostly mash potatoes and fruit. Be blessed everyone

27 and was banded 5 days ago

Day 7 post op.......gas pain in my chest and shoulder is unbearable, but I'm able to walk a lot more now.

I have to be at the hospital in 4 hours......I couldn't sleep I was so nervous, excited and just ready to be post op......I was on full liquids for 7 days and clear liquids yesterday. I can't believe this journey began in June :-)

I'm excited, nervous and starving.....on a clear liquid diet until tomorrow!!!!!!:thumbup:

Thanks....good luck and continued success :-)

thank you, that was sweet. I definately will :-)

My surgery is 2morrow and I am 27.
