I have postd this question in a few other places but am not getting any responses so I broke down and came to the main board! I also tried to search old posts for it because I realize there must be some but it brings up hundreds of other posts.

I am one week post-op and just returned to work yesterday. When i wake up in the morning I feel pretty good there is not much port pain at all, as the day goes on my port site gets pretty swollen and sore. It is not red or hot to the touch. It is just achey, swollen, and sore. I only made it to lunch time at work yesterday and then I was just too sore and tired to stay any longer.

I called my Dr's office and they didnt seem to concerned with it, I am just wondering when this swelling and pain went away for the rest of you?

I was banded July 21 06, still experience port irritation at the end of the day, especially if I wear jeans or do a lot of bending...........seems like a lot of banders still have port irritation. It will get more tollerable though!
