Pain????

[lin2 0]

Does anyone have pain-not cramping or abdominal pain but pain and tenderness when I move or bend over a certain way. Called the doc and the nurse said it wasn't a stretched pouch - no other stomach-typeproblems such as reflux. Pain started right be fore my first fill and then got worse - around the largest scar - is that the port??

Feels like a pulling, stabbing pain when I move wrong.

Anyone else have anything similar????

I believe that you are about 6-7 weeks out? At that stage, I still had slight pain when I moved a certain way. If it is severe or troublesome I would talk to my doctor.

I get it once in a while too when I bend that certain way. Mine's my port area and the sutures being pulled and stretched on. Sometimes I even feel a pinch when it rubs against my muscle wall. I also have to remember, since I'm losing weight and exercising, my muscle is also tightening up so i get the "rebound" effect.

Thanks to all for the reassurance - I still can eat too much but I am hopping that I will feel more restriction and less cravings as they tell you after the next fill or too.

It does feel as though it is a pulling, pain around the port area so is probably of no real consequence, although it is pretty painful at times.
