  • For me, that was normal for a long time (more than a month). It was my port. It petered down to discomfort, and I still have it if I get into the wrong position. Not pain, but awareness, I guess.

    Do you know if it is by your port?

    Best advise Call your Doctor/Surgeon/Bariatric Nurse. We can all give you advise, & assumptions, but your Doctor knows you best. Call them, no question is a stupid one, that's what they're there

it sounds like something a port might cause. but this is something you should take up with your doctor. hope you feel better soon

Only your doctor or surgeon can solve this issue in the best way. However, it is only normal if it is not hurting all the time. Bending is advised to be avoided during this course.
