takingcontrol 0 Posted August 16, 2010 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BetsyB 9 Posted August 16, 2010 Sounds like maybe you're feeling the tugging sensation the port can create as it becomes embedded in muscle tissue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hot toddie 0 Posted August 19, 2010 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isa Bella 0 Posted August 19, 2010 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanZ 0 Posted August 19, 2010 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
