Hi I was banded about three years ago. I feel fine most of the time not very many complaints no pain in the port area except when i lift weights or something heave I feel pain in my incision. I just have one medium size incision and that's the one that hurts if i push on it, it feels sore kind of like a bruise. Is this normal does anyone else have issues lifting weights??

Hi thanks everyone. Yes I tried the milk of magnesia it helps and i also realized that eatting a lot of carotts can cause bloating. I have another question. I got my band several years ago but sometimes when i lift something heavy or work out i get pain in my scar area. has anyone else experienced this?
