I've never really had port pain, I have had situations where I have bent down in the shower or something and became of my port. But it has never been painful. I'm thinking you may have bent down too far or maybe too fast.. take your time you are still healing. Good Luck!

Does it still hurt? You may have popped a port stitch. TYhis happened to me a couple weeks back when I bent over int he shower. I happened to have a fill appt the next day and my surgeon took a look (or feel)...agreed it was probably one of 4 stitches that holds the port down. He made sure it was still laying flat and said not to worry about it. Scar tissue takes over the job of these stitches soon enough. So, you may have just pulled a stitch or it may have popped free. You might want to call your surgeon and just run it by them. Does the port still feel ok, like it's still laying flat? (my pain lasted almost 24 hours)

I get it some times as my band & port are high. My underwire bra sometimes hits my port. Hate wearing underwire bras now evenmore!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
