I just went to move and felt a twing inside. It was about where I think my band would be. Is this possible or just my inagination???? I have been sick lately so all kind of weird paranoid slippage thoughts are in my head.

4cc band with 3.6cc

interesting question. I've had some pain on my left side and it was a pulling type of pain, like it was pulling my port. I finally figured out that I have been taking a diuretic for some swelling and because of this, my potassium is low. My potasium being low is causing some muscle cramps/spasms.

My port can pop against my rib - it's really high (just under my bra line). I feels kindof funky and if it happens too much then I'll be sore & tender to the touch the next day.

Is your ports really high? I felt lots of twinges in the beginning but I think that was the stitches settling in.

I was banded Dec. 4th and my port is high next to my rib. Every time I get a fill it pushes against my rib and causes a little inconvenience. I do feel it catching on my rib when I slump in the chair. The fill nurse told me that when I loose some of the fat, of which I have alot, the port should settle down. Hope this helps.

My port is just to the left of my belly button, but I too get pain up under my ribs in the evening. For whatever reason, no matter what I eat, my tummy hurts under my ribs in the evening about an hour after I eat. could it be that I'm tighter in the eveing? Am I eating to much? I'm eating about 3/4 to 1 1/2 cups of food. Rarely the 1 1/2... It's now to much. why just in the evening?

Aubrie, my band is to the left of my belly button also but it is up higher. All of this is new to me too. I had my second fill Monday and I am going back tomorrow to get a third fill and have me x-rayed. So far I have 4cc's in my band and I have no restriction, plus it is difficult for the nurse to find my port. Like I said it has turned a little and is so close to my ribs that it is uncomfortable when I do get a fill. I will know more tommorrow. Eating doesn't have anything to do with my fill. Only when I slouch in my chair or when I am exercising, twisting, bending, can I feel the port rubbing against my rib. Be sure to ask you doctor about your situation and let me know. This may apply to me when I start getting restriction.
