Banded 3 Days Ago

[banded doll 0]

Just banded 3 days ago and I have a few questions...my tummy is very loose...shaky feeling will this go away I'm assuming its due to the gas used during surgery to inflate my tummy...also I can feel my port does this go down after some time???

I can feel my port now that I've lost 17 pounds since my band date of Aug 6. I didnt feel it right after surgery. SIP plenty of Water, and for some the gas stays with them for a few days. Mine was overnight in left shoulder pain but using a heating pad on high took out the discomfort.

Best wishes

I was banded 9/4 and still feel the port. The dr. stated it will take some time for the swelling to go down and the port to settle in. Don't worry, you're still early on. Good luck!

I was bloated for over a month from the gas. I never had the gas pain though. Drink lots of Water and walk a lot! The port will be tender until it heals. Now I only feel it if I press on it. For the longest time I could only feel it when I laid down on my back and pressed on it. Now I can feel it anytime I press on it now that I am down over 100 pounds.
