I was just curious if anyone had this issue...

I'm 14 months post op and for at least the last 7 months I've had burning at my port site off and on. Not terrible burning, just enough to be annoying. It feels like maybe something is irritating the area around the port. I haven't said anything to my surgeon because it isn't ever bothering when I actually go in to see him...of course, Murphy's Law. :confused:

I do know of someone who's port is either rubbing on or trapping a nerve - wonder if yours could be something similar?

Thanks for your response elcee! I haven't though of something like that, I guess that could be! I was thinking that I've developed an allergic reaction out of the blue...your idea sounds more likely. LOL

Maybe I should talk to my doc about it. How did they remedy the problem that your friend had?

I don't know if they have fixed it.I assume if it was bad enough it could be fixed by relocating the port. My friend discovered the problem after having a fill (not the first she'd already been banded about 2 years) and it caused her excrutiating pain.Seems strange but I suppose after losing so much weight everything moves!

You are probably right! It makes sense, I've lost 111 pounds so things have definately changed in there! :thumbup: It does kinda feel like something is pulling at it.
