Did I do the right thing?

I was banded on 1/30/08 and spent the night in the hospital. I'm home and I had a really great day and now today I feel horrible. I have major burning around my main incision in the middle. It goes away if I sit and lay back a little. Has anyone had the burning?

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the icky burning. I didn't have any burning but I did/do have pain around my port area. I say if it persists I would call your surgeon.

I was banded on the 16th of Jan. and sometimes when I am on my feet for too long I still get that horrible burning feeling it gets twice as painful if I bend forward. I don't know what it is but it is miserable. The good news is it gets a little better every day.

Thank you so much for that message! I have had this crazy burning since day 1 and some days are really good and then last night I decided to wash clothes and pick them up off of the floor and of course I had that horrible burning until I layed in bed. I guess this is all part of healing and atleast I know others are having the same thing. Good luck and we are all on a great path in our lives now!!
