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:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
