Port Pain during exercise?

Has anyone else experencied port pain during planks? Today was the first time I have done planks since being banded and OUCH! The first set was painful, second not as bad. Wondering if it always going to be a little painful? HELP!

I get port pain sometimes when I exercise. Since I have had my port revision surgery as mine flipped, I am VERY careful about trying to avoid this! I stopped doing pilates because I think that it was a major contributor. I sometimes feel pain during crunches, but haven't during planks. Make sure that your core is tight and pelvic is tucked in during those and see if it helps...

Remember that your port is either stitched to muscle (Lap Band brand band) or held to the muscle with metal crimps (Realize brand). If you do a repetitious movement that pulls that specific area, it's going to create soreness/pain.

My port is okay most of the time, but if I do an overly aggressive ab workout, my port will be sore for a day or two.
