My Port side is still really sore.....

I am 3 weeks post-op and still have allot of tenderness at my port site. I still cant sleep on that side and tend to wake myself up in pain if I do. My surgeon suggested the other day that trama at the site could cause the port to actually sort of pop right out of the skin. SCAREY! To be clear though, I have a Realize band and have been told that my band is not sutured to my stomach like a LapBand would be.

In getting back to exercising, my nurse and surgeon suggest rolling the band of my sweats down to aviod any rubbing on the port site. Good luck!

My port isn't painful, but it is tender. My little puppy used to walk on my stomach and sleep on it or on my side and I can't let her anymore because it is too tender. I was banded 3 months ago. I have a feeling that this is something I will have to put up with all my life. I can't stand any pushing on my stomach at all. My pants don't bother it though.
