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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
