Is anyone still getting soreness and pain in their port incision area? I am, its not terrible but sometimes is very uncomfortable. Tends to get worse when I lean over for a time or exercise a lot. Just wondering if this is normal or if I should call my doc.

Hi, I was banded Jan 22, and yes, I still have some port soreness. I wouldn't call it a sharp pain, just still can feel soreness, especially when leaning forward. I'm sure this will go away with time. Good luck!

I do. I was banded Jan-10-08.

I was banded on January 18th, and my doctor places the port on the left shoulder area. It's actually above the left breast. I sometimes still feel sensativity/achiness when I sleep in certain positions. It sometimes ache in the area if I wear a bra with underwire.

Other times, most times, I hardly notice it's there. I don't know where you're port is placed, but I think it just takes time to completely heal and build scar tissue around it.

I went for my 6 week check up and my doctor wouldn't give my my first fill because my port site is still swollen. He said that I had to wait another 8 weeks YIKES:scared2:

Sometime I still get a little sore...kind of like a "stitch" in my side. It is happening less and less frequently. I was banded 1/10, and last time it happened was 5 days ago. I took some Alleve and it went away.

thanks for the responses everyone...glad to know its not just me
