I've been experiencing a little port discomfort lately. It feels like a slight pull, and it's not all the time. In addition to that, I've been quite gassy / tummy very bubbly.

My port area definitely bothered me Sat night, when we were dancing at a Halloween party, later in the evening. I was actually rubbing it a little. It hurt to dance, but I still kept dancing.

Let me say, this has been happening on & off the last few weeks. Does it have anything to do with possibly being bloated (ocassionally constipated)?

Has anyone ever dealt with this discomfort?

Tonyann,

WOW we have so much in common. I also was banded on July 9th and have a 14cc port (and in TX, Houston area)

Domika,I have discomfort with my port also. I can always feel it. Sometimes I feel pain but mostly just that its there. Itchy, pressure, etc. I do bump it a lot. I was told by my unit that a lot can effect your port. Air travel, weather, some people say heat can tighten the band, stress...we all have that, eh?...so many things. The most pain I had was 2wks after surgery when I decided to clean the house. WOW! I really messed myself up for about a week.

Hope this helped a bit.

hi kathie52, we do have so much in common! and i think maybe even our age ! I live in corpus christi,tx. its about 3-4 hrs from houston my husband sisters and brothers live in H-town! and about the port pain i still have it .but it seems it hurts after i eat and if i am more active then normal ! as for my band i still havent reached my green zone my dr. only adds 1-2cc when i get my fills ,i wish he would add more so i can get to the green sooner ! he says that when haveing a 14cc band most patients reach the green zone at about 7cc-8cc.if thats right i still have some time till i get there ! i currently have 5 1/2cc...good luck on your journey you can ffriend me so we can keep in touch!
