Pain at my incision site. . .

I had surgery on Tuesday morning. Spent the night in the hospital and was discharged on Wed at noon. I'm getting around pretty well but one of my incision sites hurts more then the rest. The smaller ones towards my sides don't really hurt at all. The larger one that is right in the middle below my breast really hurts. If I touch it is seems to be hard and it seems to pull if I stand up straight. Is this normal? I am assuming this is where the band is. I think I can feel it and trace it all the way to my right side where the port is. Just wondering if this is normal???

I'm assuming thats where your port is. Mine hurt for a little more than a week. I had my surgery on May 27th and it only itches a little now.

I;m also thinking it's the port site. Mine still hurts and I'm 8 days out when I breathe too hard, adjust myself wrong it all hurts. I'm still on pain meds so it helps alot. I does get better. Just hang in there!!!!:thumbup:

Yuppers! That is where your port is! I am 6mo out and every once in a while it still pulls and will send a little shock to me. It will get better. it may always feel "hard" though...esp. when you lose more cause you will feel the port more easily. Just take it easy and don't over do it for now because the port is stitched in place and don't want to rip your stitches! Take care :thumbup:
