5 days after lap band removal

Feb 22, 2017

I'mback at work today and the pain has been tolerable...only one narcotic yesterday to sleep and none today.  The previous port site where suturing to the muscle was done still hurts quite a bit...during the night it would pinch when i moved.  I'm also starting to feel hungrier which i was hoping wouldn't happen after being on full liquids for about 10 days.  Overall the removal process has been much harder than the insertion as far as pain goes.  I have been walking a lot so hoping i'm not overdoing it.  Hit 7500 plus steps the last few days cause I'm walking the dog.  I also had the lap band for 11 years to surgery on a 33 year old body compared to a 44 year old seems to make a big difference!
