Pain and Tenderness around the Port

I just got banded on Aug 21st. I have had stomach pain and gas pain in my shoulder. It has been getting better but I am a week out now and right where my port is, it feels really sore and tender and weird. I still cant sleep on my side or get up or bend over well. When I wear clothes that rub against it it feels really uncomfortable. I think I am all better except for where the port is. When does this pain go away?

Hi! I was banded on 8-20 and today is the first day I have not had to take even tylenol. They had a hard time setting my port during surgery so I have been incredibly sore. Last night it was like a switch and I could sleep on my side again.....just hang in there, I bet a few more days at most and you will feel much better.
