Hello Everyone... I was banded 12/27 and I think my body is still ging through the healing process. I have been experiencing this weird, almost shap, pain under my skin. I think it's where the band is as it is inbetween my port, left side of stomach, and the healing incision above my belly button. Sometimes it can be very painful, especially when I bend over or sit down. I can sometimes feel it when I lay on my right side.

I welcome comments and suggestions. Thanks!

I had the exact same feeling, your body is still healing and you are still swollen. I had surgery on Dec.14,2010 and just now can really sleep on my right side and not feel that strange sensation. It will get better.... GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY!

I was banded on 12/10. I have also had a weird pain near my port. My nurse said everyone experiences different pains. They come and go. It's all a part of the healing process. Mine is when I drink too fast. Or if I walk too much. But, it's going away. I just say my stomach is still pissed at me :-)

Good Luck! If it makes you nervous call your dr.

Did you have a hernia repaired too? That caused the most discomfort for me, although it's not really in the area you described. Strangely, I hurt several inches below my port for a few weeks, especially when I bent over. Physician assistant said it was normal.

I had a pain very similar to what you describe. It ended up being my port. it's attached to muscle, so when those muscles are flexed (like when you bend over) you feel the pain. You constantly use those muscles, so It was that last thing to heal, but it eventually went away. That was just my experience... good luck with everything!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
