Port Area

Hey All-

I was banded March 13th. I never had any port site pain and actually thought it was on the left side under my rib cage but found out it's really the largest incision site closer to my belly button. Anyways, I am having a little pain now and notice it starts hurting at the very end of my day when I'm tired....maybe it's letting me know it's time to rest! Has anyone else experienced this? Also, all of my incision sites are flat and flush to the skin but the port site is concaved and kind of looks like a big dimple in my stomach....ideas on this?

Thanks!

My doctor told me my port is stitched to the muscle. This could be why you are sore. This will take the longest to heal. Be patient it will heal and you won't think twice about it. Good luck!
