Glad I registered on this site....got here because I am 29 days post and my port area feels like it is tugging sometimes. Mainly when I bend a lot which when you think about it makes sense since it is attached to muscle. It just feels 'weird' hard to describe. But I know the 'weird' feeling is real. Don't like it but according to other posts it will go away one day. When it hurts I put myself down and in the bed hoping that will help...listening to my body. Hard to do when your learning to put yourself 1st. If anyone knows of things that will make the port area feel better please share.

Hellar...I was banded the 8th...so far lost about 26 pounds. Loosing the weight is great but the reason I did the procedure was to get me off all my meds. So tired of swallowing pills-injecting insulin-and wear the apnea mask. It got to the point where getting down 8 meds a night-shooting 55 units of insulin-and filling the machine up with Water so I can go to bed every night was so exhausting...life change for stress free peace at night. 28 days post op and I am down to 6 meds and 20 units of insulin...now that's what I am talking about Question: My port area feels like its tugging sometimes...not bad but its a real feeling I am having. Some other posts said its because its connected to my muscle which makes sense now that I know that...bending down is very uncomfortable...if anyone has any helpful things to do or not to do please let me know. Thanks Resting in bed...got stuck on the HSN channel...ordered me a very nice treadmill that will be here around the middle of January. Till then gotta walk walk walk...but my port area bothers me...just gotta work through it I guess....
