Where is your port? Could it be that? If not, call the doctors office and ask them.

I had these kinds of pains on my left side where my port is when I was first banded (3 yrs ago).

SanDiegoUbermom - what happened when you had that pinching sensation 3 years ago? I have that pinching sensation as well and it's near where my port is. It doesn't happen all the time, usually happens when I'm sitting. Thanks!

thebandinmarie-If I remember right, it didn't happen much while sitting. Most of my pain was while I was in the shower and was either shaving or cleaning my left leg or if I’d bend to the left to pick up something.

It took a good 6 months to not jolt when I felt the pinch, it would hurt so much. Then it just became a bother doing just about anything on my left side when I would bend over. I believe it really was a year before I stopped noticing it.

Since I’ve been losing weight again and working out (Zumba—don’t know about it! Oh you should, IT’S GREAT!) I’ve noticed I can feel it as I run my hand across it. I’m hoping it won’t POKE out more as I lose weight but still no pain.

I hope this answers your question.
