HI everyone,well I was banded on October 11th and apart from some gas pains,I would say that all has been ok until this morning.Now when I bend forwards,there is a sharp burning pain around my filling port. Is it just things healing on the inside and moving stretches things or should I get in touch with nurses to further look into this? Thanks to everyone who takes the time to answer a newbees worried fears.

Can't wait till someone answers you. I have the same pain.

Not a bad idea just to contact your Dr. To be on the safe side.

I have it as well. Banded on the 12th. I go to my doctor on Tuesday and will update with what he says! Seems normal to me though... I mean it IS a foreign object in there. Lol.

My port has started bothering me too. I was banded on Friday!

My doctor said that it's normal and he told me to keep taking it easy. He also got on to me for picking my daughter (30lbs) up in front of him and he told me that was my problem (bending and the weight). Lol. But unless it's just excruciating, I think we're fine. He said it takes a lot longer for the port to heal than the rest.
