port site pain

[statebabe40 2]

Hi Guys,

hope you are all well?

I had my gastric band fitted 2 months ago, weight loss and whole experience has been excellent to date... no complaints at all apart from port site pain.

It started 2 weeks ago after my first fill, it feels like stitch from exercise but that cannot be to fault as i've been taking it really steady and it only really comes on if I've ever stretched too much or have been sitting at work.. but I'm wondering if it really should be happening at all.

The pain is intermittent and comes on like a REALLY sharp stab that leaves me feeling quite sore and sick but once it abates it just feels like ive been punched so I'm assuming it may be muscular? I had a beautiful back massage on Saturday and felt no pain at all but only an hour or so later.. there it was again.

No idea if its from laying on it, crunching my stomach and putting pressure on the port area when sat or what but I wondering if anyone had experienced the same and if there is anything I can do to help it?

all help, as ever, will be greatly appreciated.

Very many thanks

You have thought this out very well. yes to all your statements. sometimes the port needs to be moved. this is a doctor thing. be sure and let your doctor know of your discomfort. most of us don't feel our port at even after activity.
