Hello, I'm sorry to bother you guys... I posted yesterday about my port pain but sadly no one had any advice or words of wisdom for me (0 replies, so sad) ...anyway, i went ahead and looked it up and bumped into this:

http://www.ehow.com/facts_5989888_pain-over-lap_band-port.html

I'm really scared that may be the case with me. Erosion!? Infection!? omg! why is this happening to me?, i have tried my very best to follow the rules, i really hope that all i need is a slight unfil and not band removal. Has any of you experienced port pain after eating? weird huh? shouldn't it be your band that hurts? .... anyway, i am scheduled at 3:15pm today for an "unfill"...i really hope that is all i need and that they don't find somethin wrong with my band.... please wish me luck.

Ps: here is yesterday's post:

I would be sure you tell the dr exactly how you feel and when you get the pain. Don't assume you need an unfill. Make sure the dr understands what you're going through.

It is interesting that you've had this pain since your last fill, so I really hope nothing is wrong with the port. Pls keep us posted after your appt today.

Good luck at your appointment. Hopefully all you'll need is a slight unfill

I'm sorry I didn't reply to your original post. I did see it last night, but was tired and went on to bed thinking someone else would do it. Sorry.

I've had discomfort in my port area after eating, but I can usually attribute it to eating too much. I knew I was eating too much and did it anyway (I'm such a blockhead sometimes) because it kept tasting so good.

However, having discomfort after only 1 bite would concern me. Especially since you report that the last fill left your port area swollen.

Let's hope it's just a tad of overfill and nothing worse. Let us know how it goes.
