I think that's perfectly normal and you have nothing to worry about. You're only 3 weeks out from surgery. It takes time to heal. Give yourself plenty of that. :rolleyes:

The port area is the sorest area after surgery and the discomfort there lasts the longest of any discomfort. I finally realized I couldn't 'feel it' after about a month and a half. It definitely takes a while, so just be patient! (:

I was banded on the 7th of feb.. I still have to walk slow cause if I start to walk to fast my port area feels real sore from the inside. the outer part not so much but if I try to push even just a little on it .. it hurts.. I can feel my port when I'm laying flat it feels weird..

can't wait for my 1st fill!!

I couldn't lay on my side or stomach for a month after surgery...but now I can comfortably. Sounds normal to me, but if you're worried that something is wrong it wouldn't hurt to give your doctor a call.

I had surgery 12/26 sore up to at least 6 wks.

use a pillow held tightly against your belly when getting up or down

it really helps
