Weird Pain

[sutherngyrl00 0]

Hello Everyone... I was banded 12/27 and I think my body is still ging through the healing process. I have been experiencing this weird, almost shap, pain under my skin. I think it's where the band is as it is inbetween my port, left side of stomach, and the healing incision above my belly button. Sometimes it can be very painful, especially when I bend over or sit down. I can sometimes feel it when I lay on my right side.

I welcome comments and suggestions. Thanks!

I had the exact same feeling, your body is still healing and you are still swollen. I had surgery on Dec.14,2010 and just now can really sleep on my right side and not feel that strange sensation. It will get better.... GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY!

I was banded on 12/10. I have also had a weird pain near my port. My nurse said everyone experiences different pains. They come and go. It's all a part of the healing process. Mine is when I drink too fast. Or if I walk too much. But, it's going away. I just say my stomach is still pissed at me :-)

Good Luck! If it makes you nervous call your dr.

Did you have a hernia repaired too? That caused the most discomfort for me, although it's not really in the area you described. Strangely, I hurt several inches below my port for a few weeks, especially when I bent over. Physician assistant said it was normal.

I had a pain very similar to what you describe. It ended up being my port. it's attached to muscle, so when those muscles are flexed (like when you bend over) you feel the pain. You constantly use those muscles, so It was that last thing to heal, but it eventually went away. That was just my experience... good luck with everything!
