I had my surgery two weeks ago. All of the sudden, I am experiencing spasms where my port is. It usually occurs when I stand up after sitting. Has anyone else had this happen?

Wow.. I've been having muscle spasms this past week too! Right where the port is. Only I was banded on Jan 9th. Mine have been happening when I'm sitting. They aren't painful, and they aren't really fast like twitches. It's a slow tightening that holds for a second or two and then releases. No pattern to it at all, but very noticable when it happens. I forgot to ask my Dr about it when I saw him on Tuesday, but he did check the area really well (for hernias, swelling, etc) and everything was fine. Weird huh?

Thanks for your response. Its really irritating!

I get these too. I'm12 days out of surgery. In fact, if I have to laugh I hold that area or it just feels weird.

Thanks for all of you, I am still learning alot of info about the ups and the weird things that happen, my date is april 17th

I had mine Feb 15 and still have spasms. My doc said it could last for several months. mine hurst when I bend and that side. I have only lost 30 lbs and still waiting for the rest to go.

I got them for about 6 weeks post-op, mainly when laying down flat... they were very painful and lasted a long time...hence I actually slept in the recliner for a month and a half! Now I get them occasionally, especially if I've I've done alot of exta physical work that day or take a longer walk than usual. GOod thing is, they DO subside.

Yes I got them they, will go away. Mine would come and go especialy when I would turn or bend over to fast.
