I was banded on April 17th so I'm about a little over 3 weeks post-op and everything has been fine up until about 4 days ago when I started feeling this terrible pain around my belly button. My access port is two inches above my belly button and 4 inches to the left. When I'm sitting or when I stand up I get this sharp pain going from my belly button to about the closest stitch next to it. It feels like a needle being pushed through my belly button toward my incision. Does anyone have any experience or advice about this? I did some research and I believe I might be experiencing internal stitches being pulled along my muscle tissue but I'm not sure. Any thoughts would provide some comfort; this is the first surgery I've ever gotten.

I'm about 3 months post-op and I had my first fill about a month ago, going for my second fill next tuesday. I have been noticing the area near my access port has been more sore than usual for the last week or so. I tried to feel around to see if I could pin-point the pain so I could tell my doctor. I noticed my access port felt like it was really high up, like a few inches above where it normally is and I freaked out a little bit and felt around some more. Then I felt where my access port actually is and I realized that I have a small round lump about the size of my access port just a few inches above it. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? My friend who is a nurse said it might be scar tissue but it's not really near my incision sites. It's not near my stomach either. My port is located to the left and slightly above my belly button and this bump is a few inches above that. Any experience in this area would ease my anxiety until tuesday!
