I was just wondering if anyone has more pain at the port site incision than the others? Also how long did it last? I just wonder although it's not great pain. I'm one of these people that always worry about everything.

How long have you been banded. It may take you 2-4 weeks to feel less pain. I remember I was very sore but it didn't last too long. Good luck.

Mine is still sore 6 weeks post op.

I feel your pain. My port site hurts also. I hope it goes away. I feel fine so I'm not going to worry about it. It really only hurts when I press or bump it.

I was banded on 3/19. I wondered if I had done too much today to make it hurt. I was less careful than I had been. How long are you suppose to wait to bend at the waist or lift something over 12 pounds? I'm sure I was told but at my age I'm doing good to remember who I am.

I was banded 3/20 and no matter what I do my port incision hurts. I called the dr, had my pcp look at it and they all say it's fine. I have a seroma so it seeps if I bend over or turn wrong. I hope it gets better soon as it's driving me nuts. Hope yours gets better soon.

LLSibley it takes approx 6 weeks to heal entirely some people less some people more...dont worry about it...give it some time and you'll be fine..

becky

whew, pain is gone. used heating pad at night on low setting.

My band (and port) is over 2 years old and every now and then my port will be tender. I figure it's a sign I need to go potty. .

Mine didn't start really hurting until I got a fill, but now its ok. It was my first one so I will check the next time and see if I have the same problem. I guess it just DEPENDS!!!

It's been 3 weeks since I got banded and my port site is a little sore, but a lot better than say last week. Every day it feels better.
