I hope I can explain this well. For the past week my port has been sore to touch. I don't feel it if I don't touch it or if I bend a certain way, it feels sore, a mild pain. I had my realize band done in 2007. For the last couple of months I have had hearburn at least 2-3 times a week.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

I can still eat like usual, no problem there.

Its a sore type of pain when I touch near port site or if I move a certain way.

I hope someone can help me???:thumbup:

you need to call the doc and make an appt sounds like you are having serious issues

putting it off could make things worse

take care and let us know if its a slipped band or flipped port

You've had your band at or near 3 yrs. If you can't account for the cause of the discomfort - it's persistent - and not something you've experienced previously - then a call to the doc is well in order. For all of our benefit as well, please keep us posted so we can all learn together!

I have had my band for several years. Jan of 2006 in fact. I have some pain from time to time, if I lift things that are heavy, I will feel pain the next day. Like a strained feeling. I also have some pain if I wear pants that are too tight accross the band. My port is right on my waist band area. Hope that helps. I would say you need to see your doc.
