I was banded almost 2 weeks ago. This afternoon I started having pretty severe port area pain when I stand and try to walk. It has started to get allot worse. So I called my doctor at 8pm and he said that it was definitely the port and I probably bumped or hit it. He said he can see me tomorrow afternoon after all his surgeries or I can wait until Friday morning. The only thing he said I can do right now is rest and apply ice packs and the liquid Loratab he prescribed for surgery pain. It freakin hurts like hell when I try to stand.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I will agree with that, that the pain is due to bumping your port. I know I have bumped my port and didn't even realize I had done it until it starts to hurt...like a bad bruise. The dog ran up me while I was laying in my recliner and stood on my port, that hurt real bad..like someone punched me in the port, now that it's been a couple of days it just feels like a bruise. I was banded in 2007, and had my port and tubing replaced last year in July. My port was leaking. I would just let your doctor know when you see them, just so they can poke around and make sure that is all it is.

My port area was the last to heal . I have hit it and yeah it can hurt. Mine is right under the surface and real easy to find and bump into. 2 weeks post op i still had some discomfort and swelling . Took me 4 weeks to be myself again. Going in for 2nd fill today , have some restriction but need more and need to remember to drink my water. Keep moving forward.

I am feeling 100% better than last week this time. While I was at the doctors last week he poked around the port area. I woke up the next morning and twisted the get the remote control and felt like someone snapped me in the belly with a rubber band. After that I started feeling SO much better. I am thinking it was scar tissue and it released from right under my skin. :confused:

Thank you for your responses.

I'm the right height to bump mine on the kitchen counter, and shopping carts. So I'm always bumping mine and not realizing that I have done it unless I hit really hard. I feel bruised for days sometimes you can even see the bruise. I had that popping feeling once when I started doing sit ups and ab exercises, when I told my doctor he about had a fit. He told me NO more ab exercises. He never told me what the pop feeling was though. Just take it easy if you feel like it hurts. I mean you don't want to be like that saying 1 step forward and 2 steps back...you don't want that.
