I was just curious if anyone else has discomfort sitting in a regular chair? I am sure this is normal, but I just like to make sure. I sit comforatably in a recliner where I can lean back, but sitting in an office chair is a bit uncomfortable. I guess everything is just kind of pushed together. I was banded on August 1st. So far, everything has gone smoothly.

Wow, you aren't even a week post-op. You're still healing and certain positions are just harder on the stomach area. I had the same issue though, see if your chair at work can tip back and forward kind of like a rocker. When I did that my problems with the pain stopped. I also stopped getting back aches.

It will be uncomfortable for a little while, but it definitely goes away fairly soon. I think I was about a week and a half post-op before all pain stopped, and even then I still had some port twinges if I bent over.

I had trouble with office chair. Took heating pad to work because I cannot take narcotic pain meds while on duty. Did that for 3 weeks post op. Better now. I'm going into 5th week.

Yes...I have some discomfort sitting in a regular chair. I too can do the recliner, but sitting up for too long is very uncomfortable and I have to lay down for a bit . I think this is just normal. Everything has gone smoothly for me as well but I sit in a chair at work and I am a bit concerned that I will not be able to sit as long as I normaly do. Would it look funny if I stood and answered the phones ? LOL....:lol:

I had my surgery last Thursday and came back to work on Monday. Monday was very uncomfortable in the office chair. I had to keep getting up and walking around. But it has gotten better each day and today I actually feel great. So yes, ou will be uncomfortable for a little while, but it does go away. :)

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
