I Fell HARD 1.5 Weeks Post Lap Band Surgery :(

[I-wanna-be-a-loser 10]

I fell bitter hard on some ice on Saturday. I was 1.5 weeks post-op and I did the classy backflop and slide across a parking lot... Fun times. Today (Thursday) is the worst of the pain so far, every day has been getting a bit worse. Nothing feels out of place but I think I pulled the muscle that is holding my port in place. Does that make sense???

It friggen hurts big time!!! Anyone else do something similar? Is there hope for me to feel better soon?!?!?!

Call your doctor and report the symptoms so that they can determine what you need to do. I doubt you've gotten anything out of whack, but you need to check with them and take it from there. Let us know how things go.

Definitely call your Dr and go in and let him examine you you may have pulled your port loose or you band may have been pulled lower on your stomach or even slipped off you just can't know for sure and since your in pain don't wait get it looked at asap

I would definately call you doctor. I am over a year out and fell on ice this week. Some !#$#@%#$%#$ either dumped or droped a full cup of coffee in the parking lot at the conveinance store but did'nt go in to tell anyone. I jumped out of my suv (did'nt look down; but there is no ice/snow on the ground yet here) and down I went on this huge ice patch. Someone could have really been hurt. Anyway my port area was sore for 2 days so I am not suprised yours is painful so close to surgery.
