port soreness

[options123 3]

I have lost about 10 pounds since banding. Does the port hurt more as you loose weight? Are some days more tender in the port area then others? What is normal with the port area?

123,

For me, there are varying degrees of port discomfort even after 10 months of having my implant. Exercise doesn't so much bother it anymore, but noticeable discomfort if I may have eaten a bit too much. A very full pouch gives me an achy type feeling. I imagine the added pressure on the band from fullness, pushes the Fluid from the band back to the injection port and causes this discomfort. Rest easy with you band, listen to it, and best of luck.

You are still in the healing process. Anything can affect the port right now. If you accidently used it to prop something you were carrying on it, (I did that, owie), Anyway, just treat yourself a little gentley, as I said, you are only 3 weeks out and still healing. Karen
