OK Bandsters., I was banded the 19th of April. Have been doing great. Tonight I decided to mow the yard on the riding mower. MISTAKE. Myy band and port site are hurting and tender. I ate fine with no issues so i don't think anything slipped. What in the world? Can someone tell me why I hurt now?

I don't think you have anything to worry about ! Your just using muscles you haven't used in awhile! I mopped after I got banded and felt that way and its just cause I haven't used in awhile! But if it continues after a couple of days I would call your doctor!

That is the sign that you have over done it. Try and take it easy as you need to heal. I did the same when I was banded.

That happened to me when I went back to work...2 weeks after surgery. I got scared and contacted my patient advocate, who told me it was completely normal. The port is sewn into the muscle, so it would make sense that it gets sore when you use that muscle the first time after surgery.

I love my Bandster family! Thanks so much for advice.
