Anyone else have a prob with breathing or eating with it feeling as if you are bruised on the inside like something is pinching your stomach? This has been going on for 3 days. . . Help me. . .

Oops.... crying in pain. . .

If you're recently banded, it's very common to feel the stitches that attach your port to your muscles pinching and pulling a lot. If it's really bad, maybe you should call your surgeon. But the discomfort does subside as you heal from surgery. I don't feel anything anymore.

You need to call your doctor.

if anything is bad enough that it makes you cry you need to call your doctor. i am 5 months out and only recently when i am doing my walking do i feel the pinching at the port site. but it isn't so bad that i want to cry i just reach up and hold it with the palm of my hand.

I agree... call your doctor.
