Port Pain Again?

[marykb 0]

I was banded on 4/8/10 and for the first few weeks, I couldn't lay on my stomach or on my right side--where the port is. After those first weeks, I was fine. I was sleeping on my right side, lying on my stomach, the kids could lean against me, etc.

The last week or so my right side has been painful again. I can't sleep on the right side, it hurts when the kids lean against me and I can't even attempt to lay on my stomach.

My husband has suggested that because I've lost some weight, I don't have that cushioning that I used to. My Dr.'s office has been closed for a few days, and not open again until Tuesday. So, I haven't had a chance to call them.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Is the level of discomfort the same throughout the day as well as day to day?

Sometimes it aches a bit during the day. But, it is mainly when there is some kind of pressure on it.

Mine gets sore to pressure if I've bruised the area too, but this normally heals within a few days so long as there is not any new injuries.

Thanks, I haven't bruised it though. It is really annoying. I really like to sleep on that side:sleep:
