Question:
pain when i work out

I have the "LAP BAND" .Well its been 6 1/2 months since my surgery and im @ 154 from 215/220. Im so happy. But there is a question i want to ask you, i was wondering if it happens to you as well. You see i havnt been working out and im now at the stage were i want to build some muscle but when i exercise with the "ball" i have major pains on my area were the lap band is. You see it its still feels like a hard small ball inside of me. But the point here is that i hurt if i work out. So maybe i thought u might know why or if it happens to you???? Can anyone help? lol..... I just hate calling the Doctor ;-) Ismary    — ISMARY (posted on September 14, 2007)

I don't have pain at the port, but I have pain on my side and around to my back. My PA said that when they stitch the port to the stomach wall on the inside muscle, they also might be catching some nerves in there as well. So I do have some pain when I work out. I've discovered that when it's really troublesome, I put one of those hot/cold patches on for the day and that really helps.

Ismary, It could be some swelling occurs when you work out. You may want to try some ibuprofen...but regardless, you really need to discuss with your doctor. It's always better to be safe than sorry. I hope this works out for you!
