hi everyone ,i have been banded 7wks today was wondering if occasional port pain is normal and will it go away in time ? mine hurts sometimes its not that bad but it is bothersome when it does hurt.

Hi Tonyann,

Tomorrow marks 5 weeks for me and I do occassionally have pain by my port incision. Nothing major, or harmful, its tolerable.

It will go away, talk to your doc about it. I had it for quite awhile, and still, if I move just right, I get a shooting pain.

I'm ten weeks out and it's the same for me. Sometimes it comes on for no reason! Doc says that's normal and it will get better. For now, it's worth the 40 lbs I've lost.

I am over a year and still have some pain when I hit it just right. It is also tipped so some pain when I get a fill from them moving it around. ugh.... thinking it may need to be fixed someday
