Pain on port site

Hello everyone

It has been a while! So I have started my weight loss surgery in June 2011, everything has gone incredibly well, I have gone from a size 18-20 to a size 8! My start weight was 23lbs, now I am down to 127. I got to my goal weight (yay!)

However, now I have a complete new issue, my port site has been so incredibly sore, very tender to the touch and in general there is a feeling of constant discomfort. I am being sick quite often too.

Is this something any of you guys have had to deal with? Also at this stage would you remove your band or just make it looser?

Thanks all! x
