After I eat my port site seems to get uncomfortable almost painful. I have been banded for 2 months and was wondering if anyone else was uncomfortable like this. I had a fill at about 4 weeks post op. But I have never done a barrium or any other x-ray to see that everthing is in place there is lots and lots of scar tissue built up around the port and the band site . I was wondering if any one was uncomfortable or if this could be an infection or erosion..Thanks in advance

hi - i've been banded since 11.18.05 and had a fill in Jan of this year - anyhow, i have also noticed some slight pain around my port side after eating - i think for me it is when I am on the border of eating too much - i don't understand it and it is very minor for me but noticeable.

I have been banded since 02/27/04 and get this affect also. I think sometimes the liquid inside is pushed up the line to the port and somehow makes it move in doing so? and irritates it? anyway I get it also. Trish

Me too...seems to happen if I have eaten too much.

If you have this problem, where is your port located? This little detail could be important.

Thanks girls I think that eating too much just might be the problem I went to liquids and it did not do it anymore.. Thank you so much..
