A week ago I was banded n all the gas n pain is gone except for on my left side where the port is. It feels like its just laying on my ribs ouch-!!! how much longer is this pain going 2 last?

My port hurt off and on for 3-4 weeks. It still bothers me if I lay on the stability ball doing exercises.

It will get better, though, I promise. After all, it is stitched onto your abdomenal muscles.

Good luck!!!

I hurt for a good 2 weeks there. Week 3 it was like I turned the corner and now at week 4 no pain at all there.

Mine did the same... I swear it was under my rib. It stopped... I still get a pain every now and then when I tie my left shoe and I am 5 months out.

It will go away.

Port pain lasted 6 weeks for me. Totally normal though.

IM two weeks out tomorrow and port pain stinks :smile: Mine is DEAD CENTER, about 6 inches above my belly button, right above my natural waist, so everytime I sit or bend, I feel it. I really think it is not in a good place and may need to be moved.

Port pain is the worst. All other pain for me was gone in 4 days. It took almost 4 weeks for the port pain. I know this because I was told 6 weeks before sleeping on stomach again so I called the doctor when I woke up at exactly 4 weeks on my stomach one night, he said it was ok to start sleeping on my stomach again if I had no pain. BLISS!!

This too shall pass!
