sylvia45 29 Posted September 9, 2014 I was banded Aug 28. Every day gets better. Most of the pain from gas and surgery have dissipated. I do have the cravings and get hungry. Mostly I have terrible itching around my incisions, but on the inside where they said they put stitches. I've tried to feel my port, and I don't feel it, but I'm not pushing hard at all. I don't want to cause any damage.. Yes I was looking for my port too it's rite under the big incision . I feel great also just trying to learn how to eat slow . I'm on soft foods now . My life has totally changed now . I just can't get up and go . I got to make sure I get my first shake down . But I love it do far !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
