Had surgery yesterday....got home around 5. Nausea passed pretty fast just a lot of gas pain in chest and shoulder and pain by my larger incision. ... maybe thats where my port is? Anyone else just now post op? Would love a buddy to compare.

Hi congrats!!! I was banded today and so far so good. I also have pain in the larger one where the port is. Gas pains not to bad yet. We can do this :-)

I had lap band done on Friday. I have pain where the large scar is also. The chest and shoulder pain had gotten better today. I have to embrace the pain over the largest wound site to move around. I am always hungry though. Went through 2 boxes of Popsicles already and 2 packs of Jello. What should I do? Must be mental

Hi All! I had surgery last Thursday (9/12). Most of the gas pain and shoulder pain is gone. I do feel pain under the larger incision where the port is. It does not bother me very much when standing but it is making it uncomfortable to sit at a desk. I hope this will pass soon.

Today was my first day back at work. I am tired! I am sure I will be better later this week.

I haven't been hungry at all. I am just not interested in food. I am on Clear Liquids now and will move to thicker liquids on Thursday.

I would love to hear how everyone else is doing!

I didn't come home on a clear liquid. I can have milk, juice, coffee, oatmeal, cream of wheat, Jello, pudding, yogurt, Protein drinks.....etc

So far I've had Water, my Protein shakes and some Jello. I'm getting really full fast! My port site is bothering me and the gas pain comes and goes.

Had my surgery last Thursday, sept 12. Was very nauseous the day after and tons of gas pain. But now I'm walking, sleeping on my side or stomach just fine. Still a little sore where the port is. All in all, this hasn't been too bad. I'm able to sip more than the one ounce per five minutes that my dr recommended. Looking forward to "mushies" this Thursday! ???€

I had my surgery Friday 09/13/13. This is first day back at work and it has been difficult being I'm a nurse. It hurts to walk for long periods of time. It hurts just where the port is.
