I was banded 5/13/08.Everything has been going great. Friday morning I stretched across my bed to grab the tv remote to turn on the tv and I felt a really sharp pain in port area. Now its hurting just like when I first had the surgery and its painful to move,lay down or get up or to walk. I am nervious that I may have pulled the port or that it tore the muscle that it is attached to.There is a large swelling all around the port location which is very painful to the touch. Will be calling the Dr on Monday if its doesn't subside.Any suggestions on what I may have done.

The same has happened to me & I was banded 5/08/08. I posted the same question & got no response. Did you ever get an answer?

most likely it is just a pulled muscle. You have have pulled out a stich as well. I would call your surgeon regardless to ask if you should heat or ice it.
