Lap Band Port Pain After 3 Yrs

Im almost 4 yrs out and my port site has ALWAYS been sore, fill are excruciating . Once they numb me it's not so bad, but the pain goes deep and the lidocaine doesn't go that deep. When hubby returns from deployment we will be tryin for baby 3, I havent been pregnant yet with the band, and I can only imagine what it will feel like at the end of a pregnancy with a baby pushing on my port. I see my doc in dec and plan on talking about my options, I don't know what this could be? Why would it hurt this long? Sometimes when I bend over to clean or pick things up, it feels like the port gets stuck , and it feels like the worst ab cramp and I almost need to push it back? Idk, it's hard to explain. Anyone else have port pain this long?

I'd think this is something you should definitely see a good doctor about. There shouldn't

be any pain associated with your port at all. I'd almost think that however it was anchored,

might have partially come lose. I hope you can get it fixed. Good luck.
