port pain?

[justPenguin 1]

i feel the same way u do i got banded on the 25 and the pain is still there for me as well do u feel restriction?

I do feel restriction, but it's getting less and less every day. When I got home, I could just barely drink 1 oz. Now I'm up to the 4 oz they want me to have, but if I go slow enough, I can get maybe another 1/2 oz. (I over-made a protien shake)

The pain is getting much better, I find that I have to hold my belly as I get up, what a difference that makes. It's kind of gross, but the flab pulls on the incisions.

(Not for long though! LOL I was able to drop 21 # from preop to 6 days after surgery! YAY!)

I was just there this morning for my one week follow up! Were you in a black velour type sweatsuit?

That's funny :eek:

No it wasn't me - as you already figured out.

CONGRATS on the weight loss!!!! :eek:

I heard from Ginger that restriction in the beginning could mainly be from being swollen but since there aren't any fills until week 6 that TYPICALLY weeks 3-6 are called "Lap Band hell" - how I'm NOT looking forward to that!!!

I don't know if I'll keep feeling the restriction... but I still do, but only a week and a half. All I've been wanting is a good sub, so maybe before the fill I might be able to have a bite or two...

What makes it hell? Is it common to gain? Eat too much? Problems?

I was banded 10/27 and I am having the same pain, today worse than other days. I tried some ice it helped a little. I am going to assume it is just the healing process because this is where my intense pain was after surgery. So I am going to assume we are all experiencing the same thing and it is normal.:eek:
