colleenjoy 104 Posted June 18, 2012 my port site was sore for almost 2 weeks after surgery. sitting at work was the hardest for me i think the way I was sitting was putting pressure on the port stitches. You are probably fine, but call your doctor/nurse if you are concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colleenjoy 104 Posted June 18, 2012 believe me i understand the going to the bathroom all the time. I never had to use the milk of mag. for me it was liquid in and liquid out for almost 3 weeks. it does get better, I'm a month out today and I'm feeling great.

addunaway 24 Posted June 18, 2012 Good luck today at work. I had my band put in on June 5th I'm not going back to work until July 9th I know it's going be a change but I'm ready for it. My incision started leaking out on Saturday and it's still doing it a little. I called the Dr on call Sat he act like its ok so I can't wait to go to the dr on wen. for him to tell me all is good. Only one giving me problem is the big incision. It hurts a little when I sit for a long time or stand too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kjames65 2 Posted June 18, 2012 I just went to the doctor today for the pain, burning sensation at my port site. I'll be 9 weeks post op tomorrow. The doctor said everything felt fine, that I probably had a stitch come loose (those internal ones), but it's been aggravating me for 3 days. I'll continue to walk and hope it dissolves quickly so I can get back to Zumba this weekend. Eat well, Rest well, and look forward to the new you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
addunaway 24 Posted June 18, 2012 Only thing he said was its normal sometime but I'm going to ask my dr wen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky2bLAURA 31 Posted June 18, 2012 I have a lot of pain when sitting at work. Of course I sit at a microscope all night leaning forward.... When I come back from eating lunch it's absolute torture. But I think I've worked out a compromise where I can lean back in my chair and watch the images on a computer monitor. I've only been back at work for 2 nights so hopefully it will get better after my incisisons heal all the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
didixo 8 Posted June 19, 2012 I have a sit-at-desk job also and last monday inwent back to work after a week out for the surgery. I think last tuesday was really bad for me too as far as feeling pain on the left incision where the port is and ive noticed its the only bruise that i have lert. Well today is monday again and its gotten a lot better at work i can say im 90% pain free so its just a matter of time for you too i bet, hang in there!
