Pain by port

[Tulip16 1]

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 am three months post surgery and I still have port pain. Some days worse than others. Price I pay to lose weight.

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
