Has anyone who has been banded a bit know if your bra has caused your port area to hurt??? Mine has been hurting mildly for two days and it seems to jump all around my port area (not in one particular spot). I have tried repositioning the way I am sitting, where I am sitting and so on. I finally took off my bra and now I notice there is not a single pain! It could be a coincidence and I am still going to bring it up to the doc, but

anybody have this happen?????

My wife complained about this once or twice in the beginning, but I think it was the brand of bra she was wearing. When she lost more weight, and had to get smaller bra, she never said anything else about it since.

If its not your actually bra, its probably still gas. I went for my post op today and told the Dr. I felt slight pain on my left side about bra level and she told me its probably still gas pockets. It feels like when you get a side ache when you run or something. I told her it hasnt gone away but some times I dont even feel it. She said like all do that walking is the best thing or a heating pad. Hope that helps.

My port is between my sternum and my belly button. Fortunately, my girls haven't slipped that far, although they drop farther each year. I only wear soft cup (no underwire) bras and then only cotton ones. But I couldn't stand underwires even when I was a kid. They damage bust tissue, so everyone should get into a good, well-fitted soft cup bra.

Be Well

I get the same thing with the underwire bra. I just try to reposition it and now when I go to buy one i will try to be more careful that i don't get one that hurts the port area.
