Happy Holidays! The first few days are not pleasant, that's for sure. For my pain, I drank a lot of Water, and walked around the house as much as possible. I also was wearing my CPAP which created a lot of pressure in my stomache. I went to the doctor and they reduced the pressure. I also put a pillow under my knees. That is what worked for me Best of luck to you!

that might be where your port is attached- that's where mine is. it's gonna hurt for a while, but it gets better each day- i'm a month and a half out and still get an uncomfortable feeling every now and again in that area. just after my surgery i found when i moved around very much to sort of 'hold' that spot and it made moving a little less painful. feel better!

Your port is located near your biggest incision which is usually in your belly bottom. Since you are so newly banded as another person said I guess it is your port that is hurting. It is stitched to your muscle and can be sore up to a month after the surgery.

My port is to the left of my belly buttom and a little down. It hurt for a few weeks post op
