Kind of random question here. I'm nearly 3 weeks post-op and am experiencing some stomach pains today much like the ones I felt initially post-surgery...that uncomfortable, "there's a band in there" feeling. I have not eaten today and the last time I ate something was nearly 12 hours ago, so I know I can't be "stuck." I took some Tylenol to alleviate the pain, but there's always that nagging worry that something is going wrong down there. I guess my question is...is it normal to experience this random soreness from your band nearly three weeks after surgery?

I have an awareness at times of my band, but it is not painful. I am 4 weeks out from surgery. Perhaps you should contact your doctor and ask about this.

I called my surgeon's office and I'm still awaiting a call back about this. The pain is located near the port, in almost the center of my abdomen right below my ribcage. It's most prominent when I breathe in. It's not a terrible, unbearable pain, but it's prevalent and just sort of worries me.

That happened to me... Still does an occasion. Then I found out yesterday my port flipped. It's not really that bug of an issue... Just eventually he wants to go in there and flip the port back over and suture it back down.

I'm not saying that's what happened to you... That's just my experience. Port pain is very common.
