Hi everyone I was banded on 11/10 and am doing well! I had a herina repair with my band and I think that the herina was harder to deal with then the band. Well my question is I am feeling back to my old self and I was cleaning and bent over and had a severe pain right where the port is, I feel ok now but the area still seems sore. Has anyone else had this happen to them and is this always going to happen thanks so much for your time Angela

I was banded 14/11/2008 i get a great deal of pain at my port when i tie shoes bend etc

I was banded in September, and I mostly only felt pain in my port area after sitting for long periods of time. Although my pants were loose, I still felt achy in the area. That lasted for about a month or so, at most. Now, I feel don't feel any pain at all.

I was banded in April '08. After maybe 2 months I suddenly had port pain. I asked my doc about it and he said 2 things - 1) STOP TOUCHING IT. and 2) Don't touch it. To help ease the pain in the moment they had me use a heating pad on low heat in the evenings. Worked like a charm.

I was touching it often enough my co-workers were all wondering what was going on. I think it was like a new toy or something. And as soon I stopped touching the port site all the time the pain went away.
