I have been banded for just about a year and have received fills almost every month since being banded. I have noticed and don't always give a whole lot of thought to it, but sometimes after eating my port will be tender. Often I will get up and walk around or stretch to try and make it more comfortable. It doesn't hurt necessarily, it is just a strange feeling. Does anyone else get this or know why this happens?

Is you port close to where your waistband falls on your clothing? I have found that normal belly expansion while eating sometimes causes my port to rub making it feel a bit sore.

It isn't, but it is closer to where my bra band sits, so maybe that is where the tenderness is coming from.
