I am 5 weeks post op and have not had any port pain since about week 2. Now I am feeling periodic pinching type pain when sitting or getting up. I thought it was from my jeans rubbing but it has not gone away. It is more uncomfortable then hurting. Is this normal? I don't recall doing anything that would have caused the pain. Has anyone else experienced this?

I was banded 12/23/09 and yes, I've had the same thing. I thought the port pain was all over with, but last week, out of nowhere, it came back for a few days. I saw my surgeon and he said that is because my body is losing the fat around the port and that it was completely normal. Hang in there.

I was banded on 12/9/09. I started doing sit ups a couple of weeks ago and I started getting a burning sensation around my port. I went to my dr and he sent me for an xray to be sure the tubing was all connected and not twisted. Every thing was okay, but he told me to find a different type of core exercise to do. So I think we just move wrong to try to do too much and it irratates the port or surgery sites.

Just my opinion...Dr said I could get my first fill now YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup:

Thank you for responding makes me feel better and makes sense. I figured it was probably normal but I am all paranoid that the port will flip or something. I need to stop reading some of these threads :thumbup:

Yep, it's normal. My port 'bothered' me in one way or another for about 8 weeks. Then, just as they predicted, it no longer did and I barely remember it's there.
