Normal Pain after Surgery

[kim1234 0]

Hi, I was banded this past Wednesday and have some questions about pain. Wondering if normal?

1. I still have some pain when I breath deeply..Normal 6 days out?

2. I also have waves of pain after drinking sometimes and randomly through the day. Like I ate two big a piece of food or gulped air wrong. Is this normal

3. Pain on right side like a stich in my side after running..also radiates around...normal 6 days out. Is this gas/

Thanks to whoever has a moment to chat!

I am not a medical expert, but this is the explaination that I have been given with some of the same symptoms that you have. I had an occasional pain in my side after exerting myself physically. My doctor said that the scar tissue that is bilding up around your port can "catch" on your ribs causing pain when working out or breathing deeply. I still have the occasional pain twinge at my incision sites (almost 4 weeks out). The swallowing too much air or too big a bite of food feeling has been explained to me as the feeling when your pouch is full. It feels EXACTLY like I ate too much food and stays until the food or drink has filtered through my stoma!

I hope this helps. If it feel more severe than what I am describing, definately go and see your doctor!

You are still pretty early post - op and pain for a couple of weeks on sudden movement is not unusual, as is after drinking either big gulps or cold Fluid. If you are at all worried call your surgical office. Please feel free to PM me with any other questions.
