I've had mild pain near my port on and off before, but this pain (which isn't severe, just ANNOYING and ouchy!) isn't fading away and hurts anytime I'm sitting or standing. . Anybody have any ideas of what it could be? I'm almost a month out from having my surgery and am going for a fill on Tuesday. . . .

And just to ease my mind, what does a slipped band feel like? I'd imagine it'd be really painful?

Thanks for any insights you guys have!

On edit, it's to the RIGHT of my port, not the left. . .sorry about that!

Hello,

If the pain is above your navel and below your solar plexus, it's probably the band.

Blessings!

Does it hurt very often?

Mine was Mar 31 and the little twinges have been gone since about two weeks out. It apparently took that long for the stiches in the muscle under the long incision to stop pulling.

I had mine on Mar 31st as well. And it didn't hurt like this until this week. I ate too much and the next day it was hurting. Maybe I'll try to do liquids tomorrow and see if that doesn't help. . .
