Hi everyone, I'm having pain by my port and I'm hoping it's just the normal two weeks post op pain & not something I ate. I have been trying to stick to the purees: Tomato Soup, pudding, cottage cheese. Today I three SMALL bites of a whole grain baguette with my Soup @ Panera bread. I chewed really good but I'm worried that I messed up really bad! I also have plication with my band. Do you think I could've messed something up? Haven't felt his much pain since the beginning. It's the worst when I bend over. Thanks so much!

Heck, girl, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I had port pain for a good few months after surgery. Still, over a year out, I have random port pain. Sometimes after sex, my port hurts, sometimes after I work out, my port hurts, sometimes for no reason, my port hurts.

Don't stress about it. I'm sure everything is fine.

Ya I have port pain randomly too. You'd know if you messed anything up. Try jar to stick to your diet though. Ironically, that was the first thing I cheated with too! The bagette that comes with your Soup.< /p>

According to my nutritionist, bread is something we should really avoid, and liquid after bread is a

certain recipe for a stuck Lap band opening. I've tried it without any problems, but all the literature

says not to.

I've had a lap band for 4 years, and have lost 82 lbs. I still have port pain intermittently. When you get pretty lean (I'm size 8 now) your port is pretty obvious. I find it's easier to bump, etc (not as cushioned.) It's never been anything of any big consequence, just something I've learned to live with. When I'm constipated, it's especially bad.

I've had port pain for the whole 6 months since I was banded. Sometimes it's worse than other times. Hopefully yours is just that you're so close to surgery still :)
