pain around port & big incision area

I was banded on March 19, it took until April 25 to actually start feeling completely normal around my incisions. I was able to lay on my stomach without the tenderness. But all of a sudden today for some reason I went to lay on my side and then when I turned over there the tenderness was again...ugh now all day it has been tender wtf? I go to my doctor this Monday but has anyone else had this problem? Will I ever feel normal? The doctor said I should be able to do anything that I was doing before...whether wrestling around, hard-core exercise etc....but it doesnt seem like I ever will be able to do anything like that. Frustrated!

I haven't been banded yet so I don't know what your going through. I think the best thing though is to talk with your Dr., Which I know you said you were, so that's good. I'm sorry your having this problem and I hope everything comes out OK. Good luck

I was banded on April 24th so I'm not quite there yet but I am on a 6 week lifting restriction no more than 15 lbs. 6 weeks seems like forever to me but maybe that's how long they expect everything to heal completely. I'm sure you will get there it just might take more time. Call your dr. Just to be safe.

my port area was sore aka tender for about a month

its the scar tissue forming and seemingly from what you

describe, perfectly normal..however, me not being a doctor,

if you are overly concerned, def give your dr a call..

ps, as the days pass, that feeling will go away :)

I am swelled today alot in the port area an very painful was banded April 2 thinking I just may have over done things. It's hard to except that you feel an look good on the outside but the inside isn't fully healed yet. Hoping an thinking this is all normal also
