OK, I had LB surgery in Feb this year. My port area was sore for awhile (the normal time) and then all was fine. One day last week my port area became so sore. Like a bruise. I thought about it and that day I had worn and underwire bra ALL day long. My port is high, right at the bra line area. I was wondering if that is the reason I am so sore. It has been a few days and I am still sore. Would there be ANY other reason for my port area to all of a sudden be sore??

I had the underwire bra issue when I was first banded but after a couple of weeks, it didn't bother me anymore and I wear underwire for about 10 hours a day.

Depending what bra I wear (these double d/e's are hard to fit--praying they shrink)-- I have a couple that irriate the holy heck out of my port area. Mine is high too.... but i am not as far out as you.

I have no choice, but to wear underwire bras (I have Hs here...lol) and I haven't had any problems so far, but my port is a little lower...

It could be your bra...

Have you done sit up's lately? I had the same feeling awhile back, I ended up popping a stitch out of my port area and tearing the muscle. Once that healed, the bra was fine.

I was afraid that maybe my port had flipped and that is why it started hurting. I am laying off wearing the underwire for a week or so to see if that is it. Since I have lost weight you can find the port VERY easy so I am hoping the underwire bruised my skin. The problem is...I don't know, that is why I am asking all of you. The more postings, the more I learn. Thanks:thumbup:
