Port incision pain

When I press on my incision it just hurts like a normal cut would hurt but there's this weird pain that I get just 4 inches below the incision. The feeling is like a burning sensarion and if i bend over or do sudden moves it hurt really bad. It helps if i hold my gut up against me. Is that how you guys feel?

My actual port is just below my big incision to the left and yes I had pain for some time after my surgery and still a month later when I stretch I still get a "twinge" Sometimes I feel a lil uncomfortable when laying on my side but that has gotten better. I am saying I think what you are feeling is normal and will get better.

Thank you all for sharing ur experiences on the port incision. I was getting worried thinking that something came loose and i was getting ready to call my doctor. Like i said i dont really have pain is only the burning feeling and like i pulled a nerve or something like that. I was banded 2 weeks ago. Thanks again!!
