I am on day 11 as well, and this pain started about day 8. does it hurt when you take deep breaths? It hurts me when I do. I am wondering if i am just over doing it with walking or what.

Mostly when I walk, not at all when sitting. I have not noticed it on deep breath. Hmmm strange.

mine did the same

that sounds like the tissue (scar) forming around your port area

mine was sore for about a month (was tender also)

if you are worried, call and discuss with your dr tomorrow

I was sore in the port area for a month too. Out 9 months now and no further problems. If you can't stand it call your doctor, but I don't think a little pain there is unusual.

Has anyone had their band slip. Hopefully will return to its correct place after 3 weeks of special diet. If not will have to have another surgery.

      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.
