I think if anyone has read my last posts you all know about my problem. So heres the thing, my port is still tender and burns a bit. I am sure from all the other problems inside. Even so, It has always been tender. Is it normal? Also I have a weird feeling in my throat. Like a lump or kind of like when u push on your throat when u swollow. I have no fill yet. I am sure I am swollen inside from my being sick to my stomach for the past 2 weeks. Besides that is this normal? I mean is it common to feel that lump and have a sore port after being banded for 3 months. I am not to worried about it. just hope it hasn't slipped. I think I read somewhere that others have felt this. thanks again guys.

I was really hoping someone has a clue as to what that weird feeling in the throat is, and if its normal for your port to still hurt some after 3 months. I love my band. No complaints just trying to figure out what the uncomfortablness is about. I will find out in a couple weeks when I get my fill. thanks again

I don't know but I'm almost 6 weeks postop and for the first time since right after surgery I've had port pain this weekend. I know what from. I took our pool down Thursday and it is one of those huge above ground ones and I tugged and tugged and tugged on that thing trying to take it down and all weekend it hurt when I bent over and stung like crazy. I know I overdid it plus I helped my husband cut down trees all day yesterday. Just plum overdid it, so yes, I have the port pain and was sore after my fill for a couple of days, I think from the poking. Hope your feeling better soon.

I don't know about the feeling in your throat, but I have port pain usually after I eat - especially if I eat too much. I had my surgery in Jan of 05. I went to have a fill yesterday and my doc thinks that I have a kink in my tube. I dont' think that has anything to do with the port pain though, I have had port pain as long as I can remember and I have had fills before. The kink is new. Good luck with your band but I'd ask the doc about the throat thing.

i went and all is good in lapband land. he thinks the throat pain is from eating. ok thats fine. good news. sorry about four kink. what has to be done for that?
