Hi there,

I was banded October 16th and yesterday I started feeling some discomfort in the port area, like the stiches were being stretched or something.

I was just wondering if I could of hurt or stretched myself by getting on the treadmill. I have been walking and even tried jogging for about 30 minutes a night.

Anyone else experience anything like this?:w00t:

Also - Other October Bandsters........how are you doing in your progress?

I quickly lost 11 pounds:thumbup: and now since being on "mushies" I have gained a little back, :sad_smile:Is this pretty normal?

Thanks! Jeni

I had a kind of pulling sensation in my port area around the second week or so. It was sore...kind of like pulling a muscle or something...it was sore, but it did go away... I hope this helps

I was banded on oct 16th too and felt the exact same way in my oirt area. Doctor put it in a spot where my waistband is and I felt very irritated in that spot-went to doctor yesterday for 2 week followup and he said it is normal.. I can resume exercise, like walking, weights as long as they are not over 10 lbs. Today I can start having one meal of protein. I'm so excited to be ating real food now. I lost 12 lbs so far. Good luck to you.

I wil be one week out Friday. Today is the 1st morning I ahve not not felt the pulling sensation on left side. That is where the pain has been. Will there be a time soon where I will feel normal again, but just making smarter choices about my food? Kathy

I am three months out and at about two weeks, my port was very sore. I felt like I had to hold my hand over it. I went to the doc and he prescribed a medical binder. It is an elastic thing with velco that you were kind of like a girdle. It worked great! I only had to wear it about a week but I was glad I had it.
