Ab pain and exercise

[jedivy21 2]

So this week I went back to exercising regularly. I'm about 6 weeks out and pre-op I did a fitness boot camp to which I've returned (with the doctor's blessing). About 2-3 days after starting I got this nagging pain on the left side of my abdomin, a few inches away from my incision.

At first, I thought it may be the soreness of my muscles and its effect on either the band or the port. Now I don't know. It still may be, or maybe not. Anyone else had such feelings after ab or core exercises? If so, does your body get used to it.

(Note: I did mention it to my doctor, but here I'm just interested in seeing if anyone has experienced this and what if anything you've done about it).

Someone else on this board mentioned that the port area can be sore for three months or so.

I was banded in may and walkng lunges (when right leg is in front) still pull my port and make things pretty uncomfortable.

Yep, I did, nurse said it was the claws on the port pulling at the muscle it's connected to!

I was banded on 11/29 and my port area is still sore. On a couple of occasions lately i have felt a stinging. I have done some bicycling at the gym a couple of times, but that seems to pull on the port area. I do not have any redness or swelling that I can can tell. I go in for my first fill on 1/26. Do you eventually feel as if it is not there?

Thanks

I was banded on 10/25/10 and after i do a hard zumba ab & toning routine, every time i am sore for days at that same spot. I had my 2nd fill scheduled for last week so i asked my Doc about it. He said that it's attached extremely well in there & he has only had one woman with the port becoming unattached & that was after a very serious car accident with abdominal injuries. He gave me the ok to keep going with the routines.

YIKES! That's just about how it feels, like something clawing at me. I will say that its now Friday and the "clawing" has sort of subsided since it started on Monday. Hopefully thats a sign that my muscles are getting used to the exercise. I've already paid for the bootcamp so I cant stop!
