reeces5 0 Posted September 12, 2007 I just got banded in August. I get my first fill next week. The doctor made it sound like it was going to be completely painless but I was actually in some pain for about a week from where the port was stitched to my abdominal muscle. It was hard to get up from a low chair, go to the bathroom, bend over, etc. After about the first week I didn't really have too much pain and now it is completely fine. The only real problem I am having (besides learning to eat slowly so I don't get sick) is burping. I burp constantly, sometimes loud burps that I can't stop (can be quit embarrassing).:embarassed: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
judyfay62 0 Posted September 13, 2007 Be thankful for the burping. I have not burped or vomited since banding. It leads to many problems. My port was sore for 3/4 months after surgery. Even now, if I lean over a cabinet , wooo, look out. That area bruses easily, too. Good luck, & may there be less of you soon. :>) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
