Pain At The 'band Site'

By LovingTheBandWagon

· 624 views

Hi there - I have had my band since 3/13/2012 - LOVE it - been doing very well. Down 50LBS. I woke up yesterday morning and my band site is very sore and tender (almost like my port pain after a fill). It IS a little better today. I cannot think of ANYTHING I did to bruise or cause the pain... I did dishes, washed the tub etc... I KNOW I am paranoid - I could not imagine anything happening to this wonderful tool I have been blessed with.... It kind of feels like it is pulling a little when I walk etc... Do you think I have done something? I keep reading about people 'flipping' their port etc... Was that instant pain and you know it happened? Any insight is appreciated - thanks... (I am at 3.8cc's with a 10cc band)

    I don't know exactly when my port flipped, but i do know that i woke up one day with pain, it felt a little bit like a pulled or very sore muscle might feel...then it just got worse and worse. i didn't do anything to cause it, the doctor just said it happens sometimes.

    they can tell pretty quickly if it has flipped or not. if they try to give you a fill and can't get the needle to go in, then it has probably flipped. you should have it checked out if nothing else than to just put your mind at ease.

    Thank you! I am going to give it the weekend. If it is not better, I am going to go in on Monday - just to be on the safe side.

    Hope all is well now?
