I am about 1 year out since banding, and I haven't been exercising, and I haven't had a fill since November. Just recently I am starting to actually feel like my band is working. Meaning I get full much faster than normal. Also, if I still try to eat, afterwards my port will hurt bad, and will be tender to touch, and also very hard. Has or does anyone experience this? I'm wondering if something is wrong, I'm afraid it is, and scared to go to doctor for two reasons. I'm still paying on this surgery, and also hate that I'm having problems because my husband never wanted me to have the surgery.
