aprilmmason 17 Posted December 24, 2012 Hi again! I'm 6 days post op... Feeling this awful "pulling" type pain on the upper left where in sure the port is stitched in. I'm thinking its normal but it's still a little scary. I need my pain meds to make it tolerable and I have a high tolerance to pain. Anyone else have this? If so how long did it last? Thanks!!

Tomander 614 Posted December 25, 2012 I had pain in the upper left shoulder... and a bit in the port area.... lasted 3 days... can last up to a week. I found a heating pad really helped. Tom, Toronto Banded July 6 06 Wt. Loss; 156 lbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2012 359 Posted December 25, 2012 My port site was sore a few days and then for the next couple of weeks if I bent too far one way or another, it was a little sore, but not really painful or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunshine412 33 Posted December 25, 2012 In general, you may not realize it... but its so easy to over do it. Take a day or 2 and just chill... dont get out of bed, have a movie day. Uninterupted rest goes a long way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
