Hello!

I am about 5w1d pregnant. The past few days I have been pretty bloated. With the bloat I am having a lot of discomfort at my port site. Not sure if this normal or not. I can't even imagine when I start getting really big. Has anyone experienced this?

I'd talk with your obgyn and your lapband surgon about getting an unfill or deflate for your pregnancy since you are so early, especially once the morning sickness starts cuz vomit is bad for the band but you have to cuz of the pregnancy. Many experienced lapband doctors know how to safely treat you while pregnant and the same should go with your obgyn. Good news on your baby. keep me posted as I"m planning on a baby soon myself.

Well its not my band, it the port site. I am not even a year out, so I didnt know if it still is healing into my muscle.

Thank you for your reply. I may call them tomorrow.

I would think the port site is healed, but the bloating may be stretching things. Make sure you check in with your weight loss surgeon. And congrats on the new baby!

Thank you!

Its very normal to be bloated at the beginning of your pregnancy. Its one of the many reasons I knew I was pregnant. Your body should adjust to it in a few weeks.

As for the port pain some get it some don't. But if your already having it id ask the doc if there is anything you can do to relieve it because its only going to get worse as you grow.

Port pain for me came and went the entire pregnancy. It wasnt horrible but there were days I was pretty uncomfortable. Remember there is a lot of stretching going on and that port is attached to muscle. Good luck.
