Topic: RE: lap band removal 1 week ago

I had my 10 year old band removed on Friday for an upcoming sleeve in May.  The surgeon told my parents there was a lot of scar tissue but nothing else wrong.  When i had the band inserted, the pain from the port was pretty intense.  Now with removal, the laproscopic site next to the port is giving me a lot of pain that feels like pinching...especially worse when getting up in the morning.  Anyone experience that and for how long?  Anything help it?

I've been walking a lot and went back to work yesterday where I have pretty much a desk job.  I find that I feel a lot better walking or lying down.  How long did you take pain meds?  I'm trying to take just ibuprofen but still needing an oxy once a day.  Not sure if i'm overdoing it or just not healing quick enough.  Surgery in your early 30s versus 44 seems a bit different!

 

thanks!
