I am on day 11 as well, and this pain started about day 8. does it hurt when you take deep breaths? It hurts me when I do. I am wondering if i am just over doing it with walking or what.

Mostly when I walk, not at all when sitting. I have not noticed it on deep breath. Hmmm strange.

mine did the same

that sounds like the tissue (scar) forming around your port area

mine was sore for about a month (was tender also)

if you are worried, call and discuss with your dr tomorrow

I was sore in the port area for a month too. Out 9 months now and no further problems. If you can't stand it call your doctor, but I don't think a little pain there is unusual.

It is definitely not that bad just thought it strange that it just came up today. And noe it seems to be gone. Go figure lol!

Has anyone had their band slip. Hopefully will return to its correct place after 3 weeks of special diet. If not will have to have another surgery.

Could be constipation, the high protein can cause it. Try Miralax.

How did you know it slipped?

I had a barium test cause I couldn't keep food down. I followed the plan at150% so was surprised. I was banded in early May
