Pain Around the Port

:redface: I think I might be going crazy. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this.

I was banded on 11/12/08. I had my first fill under flouroscope on 12/12/08. During my first fill I found out I had 3 cc in a 10 cc band already. The fill doctor added 1 cc for a total of 4. The area around the port was a little sore after the first fill.

I had my second fill this week 1/27/09. The area around the port is really sore now and seems to hurt more right after I eat. The needle going in on the second fill was really painful. During my fill the doctor said I was the only one who thought the fill hurt. I would describe the pain as tenderness around the port area.

My doctor used the davinci robotic machine to do my surgery.
