Pain in Right Side

[coolkidz 0]

I was banded on 12/18 and am still having pain on my right side by the incision. I am assuming that this is my port. Does this go away soon? My doctor only prescribed percocet and I am trying to only take them at night. I am trying to get in all my liquids but it is hard because they give me gas and that causes all kinds of pain.

I'm worried about being hungry. I have read that by day 10 you get really hungry and I am not looking forward to that at all!

The port incision takes the longest to heal. It was closer to week 2 into 3 before the pain was completely gone. As far as hunger, you may or may not get hungry that soon. As your swelling from surgery goes down, you may get hungry unless your doctor put in fill at the time of your surgery. Then again, there are some that went months before they were hungry. Every person is different and will react differently to the band. I hope that feel better soon.
