So after being in severe pain for almost 2 weeks, I went to my doc to have my port site checked out. Sure enough, just as I had expected, I tore the muscle and scar tissue around my port from a PB episode. I am a new bandster (banded 9/25/12) so I haven't even had a fill yet. I am on some pain meds now but need to take it easy. Easier said than done bc I have an attention thriving 18 month old Mama's boy. Has anyone else torn any muscles around their port? If so, how long did it take you to recover?? Any advice?

PB stands for productive burp.

ahhh ok thanks,,, i see ppl say that all the time and had not a clue to what they was talking about,,,, thank you ohhh wait a min,,, does productive burp mean puking??? i just reread your post,,, now im wondering again what productive burp is,,,, hmmmm

I have tore my port away from the muscle 3 times. I've had two revisions to sew it back in place and needing a third just cant afford it. Pretty painful for a few weeks.

With you child this will be hard but avoid any unnecessary bending!

Yes, it's when you burp and vomit a little with the burp. Pleasant stuff huh? lol Fortunately, I have not experienced this!

Oooh, torn muscle? Sounds,awful!!!

I had the exact same thing happen from a gallstone/morning sickness attack last week. After 2 ER visits, I was finally admitted for severe dehydration. I spent Wednesday night and most of Thanksgiving day in the hospital. Now, the dehydration and gallbladder issues have calmed down, I have this excruciating pain all around my port, like I have ripped the sutures loose. How long does it take for that pain to calm down?
