SO I WAS BANDED JUNE 17 AND ALL IS PRETTY WELL EXCEPT I WENT FOR A GOOD HARD WALK LAST NIGHT AND WHEN I WENT TO BED I FELT SORE IN THE RIBS AND CRAMPING LIKE I WAS KICKED IN THE RIBS. WHERE THE PORT IS IS REALLY SORE TO WHEN BENDING UP AND DOWN . SOME DAYS ARE FINE THEN OTHERS ARE LIKE OUCH DAMMIT. I AM EATING MUSHIES FOR ONE MORE WEEK AND FEEL I CAN EAT PROBALY MORE THAN I SHOULD BUT I HAVE NO RESTRICTION. IS ANYONE ELSE STILL SORE AND IN THE PORT AREA?

That's normal, and the pain under your ribs could either be just from walking too much or could be gas pains leftover from the surgery.

I was banded on June 30th and only feel sore in the area where my port it. That area is more tender, not do to infection, but because I seem to bump it more often or the seat belt strap just rubs against it more often. Under my port incision there a slight firmness about the size of a 50 cent piece. The surgeon said this is normal due to healing and should go away. When I sit for awhile or walk a bunch, it makes me like I am pregnant with a baby kicking me in the rib.
