Port Pain Question

[Deevee0927 10]

Was banded 10 days ago and was doing amazingly well. Not much pain at all and no nausea woohoo! I mean I had gas pain but in the lower left part of the stomach.

I've been walking quite a lot but in the past 2 days I have a lot of pain where the port is located. When I take deep breaths or yawn it hurts. Did I overdo it? (have to admit I walked more than 2hrs yesterday slowly but still) Anyone have that sort of pain or still do?

Also as per doc's orders I started eating scrambled eggs this morning.....well I realized that I really have to think when I eat now. I got my first stuck. Holy moly! Couldn't even talk. I was a fast eater and never really chewed (mmmm maybe the reason I got to where I required banded....ya think!? lol). Lesson learned.

I too was fine the first couple of days after the surgery (banded on october 11),but started having terrible pain around the port area. It hurt with every deep breath and would travel up to my shoulders. There was a period of a couple of days were I couldn't bend over to put on my socks because it hurt too much. Good news is that it only lasted a few days and glory be I was able to sneeze yesterday without pain. Hang in there it will get better,although I didn't think that a couple of days ago.

Thank goodness for your post! I feel like a whimp because I've called my Dr. twice, about 2 different things (shortness of breath=resolved, and if I was getting enough liquids in:, I wasn't.,.guzzling more) never had pain until last night! 10 days out it feels as if my port is really "heavy" and it pulls, and my side splits like the feeling when I have just walked too far.Been trying not to overdo it, hoping that's all it is? Don't wanna call the Dr again, my post op appt is Friday.
