I still fell sore, I had the procedure in August 12th. Have you talked with the Dr.? The Dr. said for me is still ok, just have not healed inside as fast as the outside.

I, too, have port pain still. I was banded on Aug 8. It mostly shows up if I'm doing a lot of bending down. I swear it feels like I'm being bruised from the inside. I think it's supposed to go away at some point.

I was banded on July 8 and today was the first time I have experienced port pain. It's almost a burning pain. I don't know if I moved the wrong way and hurt it or not.

I didn't have port pain until 3 weeks post op. In one week it went from pinching and pulling to overwealming agony. I went to the surgeon and I had a seroma on my port (seroma is a pocket of serous fluid). He just stuck a needle into it and drained it. Talk about immediate releif! I had to return a week later and had it drained again. It should be totally cleared up soon.

If you feel that something is out of the ordinary just call your surgeon. I was ready to chalk it up to healing, but I'm glad I didn't because I was really suffering.

I am so glad you posted this. I woke up this morning and am still having serious pain. I think I am going to call my Dr this morning.

Well I called this morning and ended up going into my Drs office to be seen. He thought that maybe I hit the area and pulled the muscle that the port is sewn into. I'm glad that it was ok and I was also able to get my fill today instead of on Fri.
