Is there a support group for patients from University General in Houston. Dr. Davis did my surgery on Friday 1/4/07.

Yes! It is this Wednesday, Jan 9, from 7-9 pm. I just found out about it myself but plan on attending. Congrats on your surgery! How did everything go on Friday?

It went good but I am still a little sore Monday 1/7. I am walking so the gas isn't too bad just sore. I am confused about one thing are you supposed to be able to feel your port?

The liquid diet is getting old. I go back to see Dr. Davis on Thursday.

Hopefully you will feel a little better every day. You may not be able to feel your port now, but as you loose weight you probably will feel it. I couldn't feel mine at first but after 50 pounds gone I can feel it. Also, I found the heating pad worked best for me to alleviate the gas pains in my shoulder. Are you going to the UGH support group tonight?
