Pain on port side

I am 2 months post op (down 28 lbs) and just had my second fill last Friday. I have noticed pain on my right side several inches above my port. It feels almost like a pulled muscle. I will not notice it for hours but then move just the right way and I feel a sharp pull. I am worried the the port has moved or my band has slipped. Just a little paranoid right now. Please help.:thumbup:

I'm about 10 months out and I still have a bit of pain in my port at times. It may be just normal pain, but nobody can tell you for sure except for your doctor. If I were you I would call my doctor's office and ask to speak with a nurse who can perhaps let you know if pain near your port is something normal or if you'll need to schedule a visit to get it checked out.

I'm 3 1/2 months out and still get that pain every now & then. I was told that every time you move in a new way the port will pull on your muscle and new scar tissue has to form. I would still call your doc & let him know what's going on so they can chart it.
