Good morning! I've searched the site and can't seem to find any info about port site pain this far out. It's been two months now, and everything has been great up until a few days ago. I turned over in bed and felt a sharp "stinging" pain in my port site. Now it happens everytime I turn over or even bend much. The pain goes away quickly, and doesn't seem to bother me the rest of the time. Any ideas? Will this go away? Have I just strained a muscle around the port or something? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I have been banded for about 3 months and that happens to me from time to time. I asked my Doctor and he said that is not uncommon. The port is sewn into the abdominal muscle and when you twist it can sometimes pinch and pull, but eventually it will stop hurting. I don't think it is anything to be too concerned about!

I was banded a year ago... for the first three months it hurt at times, getting up out of bed... moving a certain way. I still have it once in a great while when I do a sit up. It most likely is the muscle. However, you should talk this over with your doctor if it concerns you.

I've been banded for a little over 4 months and I still get a twinge every once in a while. I think it is pretty normal.

Whew... it's pretty much what I *thought* but just wanted to see if it was "normal". I do use my ab-roller a few times a week and it seems to bother me then, too. This site has been a life-saver!! If it wasn't for all of you, I'd be on the phone with my doctor at least once a day. *lol* Thanks, to all of you.

I had the same sensation before when I had a tummy tuck 4 years ago...they called it "zingers". I do experience them since the band as well.
