Was banded on Fri. 14 and my port incision is stinging really bad! Is this normal?

NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL....BUT COULD JUST BE THE CLAWS OF THE PORTS LATCHING ON. IF YOU SEE ANY RED AROUND IT...RUN QUICK..CALL YOUR SURGEON.GOOD LUCK, HANG IN THERE ....IT GETS BETTER.

I m not sure of that is normal but I would call your dr to make sure. I was banded 6 days ago and its tender where my port is but I can't say it burns.

If its swollen, red or draining i would be concerned. Also if pain is getting worse or you spike a temp

I was banded on sept 11. My follow up was today. I have lite burning when I use a heating pad or bend down to quickly. But my doctor told me it was ok. I don't have any redness around it.

The incision is under my arm. They said it will be easily irritated due to the location. This is day 3 and if anything brushes it or the area around it, it stings pretty bad. I haven't noticed any redness though.

Where is your port located?

Where is your port located?

Under my lft arm pit

Mine is located below my left rib. No wonder it hurts. Keep that area clean.

Under my left arm

That is a really unusual port location. Wonder how that will go once you lose lots of weight.

Why is it under you arm? I have never heard of this.

Mine is in the same location as yours. Kinda under my left arm more towards my chest.ine stings if I turn a certain way or try to lift something. I'm post op day three and the stinging isn't so bad but it's def there

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one! It doesn't sting all the time, but I tried to put on my bra today and it starting stinging so bad that I got the bra off as quick as I could!

I've been having to wear sports bras. They are easier for me to put on. I tried a bra and reaching back to fasten it just stung too bad.

This is my 3rd day out also. Are you able to drink 64oz. Daily?
