Is there something wrong with me?

I was off all of my pain meds a day after surgery also. I was back to work after a week. I had one incision that got a little infected, so they put me on antibiotics to be sure that the port wouldn't get infected. I have experienced some pinching feelings both port side and stomach, but nothing too bad. I started back to the gym a week after surgery just walking, and by week three I was lifting. I have been eating regular food since week 4 and everything is going well. My only problem is learning to listen to my body's signals for being full.

I had no pain either , really none. I was amazed after reading all the negativity here. Especially because I got the band and I had a hernia repair.

I also had minimal gas pain that was easily handled with Gas-X.

I asked for a pain killer the night of my surgery more so to help me sleep than for pain. I took 2 of the prescribed pain killers since being home to head off pain that never came. So I take the liquid Tylenol at night to sleep and I'm good.

I'm amazed at how good I feel.

I started working out just a little today, 20 min on my treadmill ( a slow walk) and my temp spiked a bit but I took another dose of tylenol and I feel fine now.

I had my surgery this past Tuesday. I felt lousy for the first two days, but I went on a walk today without issue. I have slight discomfort with my port area, but I hardly have any gas pains at all. The doctor said I would have shoulder pain too because he repaired a hiatal hernia and I have not had much pain there either. Nothing so far has bothered my stomach. I am able to drink and eat the "full liquids" without issue.

I am happy that you are doing well. Take care.

Hello, I am new to the site, and to forums all together, so still learning to navigate.

I am more sore than you have been (surgery last Tuesday) but I had a little gas the first couple days, nothing a little gas x didn't cure. I have had no nausea or vomiting, and no heartburn. I ate a half a scrambled egg on Friday, and 4 bites of rice and shrimp yesterday. No problems. I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me also, so I was glad to read your post and the responses, maybe we are just lucky.

Yes after reading that people do not have any issues like me made me be thankful. It stinks that some do have those issues though. I have started eating but I will say my main things is to remember to take very little bites. But Very glad things are going great for you.
