Hi All - I was banded on Tues 8/28 and still have alot of pain in the port area. The only relief I get from the pain is when I'm laying down in bed. Sitting and standing hurt sooo much. I'm going back to work on Tues 9/4 (desk job - lots of sitting/standing) and I'm freaking out! I'm keeping up with the pain meds but that doesn't seem to help much.

Should the port pain last this long and be this intense?

Hi Shelby.

I had port pain and it lasted about 1 week and then subsided. Where is your port located? Mine is near my belly button on the left side.

Hi Patricia - mine is the left side and a little higher than my belly button. It's just so painful. The incision is fine but it's all the pain behind the area... make sense? I know it's the muscles healing but man o man I'm in constant pain. I'm hoping today will be better but so far it's not. Thanks for responding!
