I am just over 2 months post op and have started to add more muscle excercises to my work out. I was doing some sit ups the other day andwhenI was done my port hurt. I figure this is due to my muscles pulling at the stitches. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this. I go in for my second fill onWednesday and plan on askingthe Dr what he thinks.

I have experienced the same thing. My doctor told me to feel free to do any excercises I want and if it hurts to stop for a day or two. I have been banded since May 23, 2007 and can now do almost any ab work outs for an hour at a time with no pain in the port. Pain everywhere else just not my port Its still tender a few months out but it does get better. Now I have lost so much weight laying on a work out bench the wrong way shoves my port into my ribs which is irritating but not painful.

Hi,

I remember that happened to me for about six months after I started exercising after surgery, and I started as soon as I got the clearance. Ab work would often make my port area ache and feel sore. It eventually went away, but it flared up over that six months. Keep exercising and work around it on really sore days...it's great you are exercising!!! Way to go!!!
