I have been banded nearly 2 years now. For the last week, I have had an intermittent pain when bending just below my port. I can now press on the region and it feels hard and is painful to push on. I am wondering if I am pushing on my tubing going from the port to the band and if it is possible that the tubing may have somehow twisted. But, like I said the pain is intermittent but when it hurts, it hurts bad. Would appreciate any feed back. Thank you.

I'd tell your doc. Maybe get an x-ray or ultrasound to be sure. Keep us posted:confused:

Just wondering what ever happened with you? I am experiencing some thing like that but with lots of bloating in my abdoman and pressure on my stomach. Did you find out what was wrong?
