Odd Feeling

[takingcontrol 0]

My band was placed on Wednesday, I woke up this morning with an odd feeling on my left side, almost like a pulling depending on how I move.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I guess I'm paranoid about my port.

Thanks for you help!

Sounds like maybe you're feeling the tugging sensation the port can create as it becomes embedded in muscle tissue.

yep I'm pretty sure it is fine, but ask your doc if you are concerned!!!! Hugs!!!

HI. I was banded two years ago, and I often have that odd tugging when I am working out (except mine is on the right side.) It's probably not a big deal, but sometimes things can get a bit kinked up. Your surgeon will certainly know if it is cause for concern. If it's apain to go to the Office, perhaps you could call them instead. Good luck!

I experienced the same thing but also on my right side(thats where my port is) The numbess from the meds & the swelling is starting to go away but to put your mind at ease you might want to call your Dr. Keep us posted on your progress. Best of luck :smile2:

I was banded this Tuesday, this morning I woke up and noticed when I bend over or move a certain way, my left side where the port is has like pulling very painful feeling. Does this seem to be what you are feeling as well?
