My port area is really sore, and my surgery was 6 months ago. When I sit "indian style" and crunch my abdomen it is quite painful. When I sit at my desk and lean over doing paperwork, it hurts. Does anyone else have this? It's sore internally, not external.

You should call your surgeon about this.

Today is my 1 month anniversary... Yes mine is still sore... It always feels like a bruise when I sit.. Also where the band is gets rock hard after I eat and I have not had a fill yet. That is scheduled for tomorrow... When I am laying down, I can see it like a bump or lump under my skin/fat... I can feel it in there 24/7 and have been wondering if this was normal... I guess I should make a list of all my questions for the dr tomorrow... I lumped the band surgery in with some reconstructive knee surgery and am home on Med leave for a few more weeks and they are letting me work form home for as many hours as I can each day... Sitting at the computer is very uncomfortable on my tummy... I hope it gets better. I don't want to have it removed...

Hi! I am 3 months post op and my port area gets sore while I sit at my desk at work on a daily basis. It is definitely an internal pain. Not sure why... I thought this might be normal; I probably should talk to my surgeon when I get my fill next week. Anyone receive answers yet?

My doc said it's normal. It's stapled to the inside of the abdominal wall and when you sit your stomach muscles crunch and sort of tug on that area. He said soreness is normal, but if the pain lasts when you change positions and doesn't go away, only then is when it's cause for alarm.
