Pain in stomach/band port area

[Nikki Riviotta 33]

I was curious if anyone has experience discomfort in the area of their Fluid port once they got closer to their final goal weight? I am about 35 pounds from my goal and my port area is really uncomfortable now. I t seems like when I lay on it or sit one the couch and lean on it it is very irratable and tender....Never had a problem until the last week. Also having stomach pains and everytime I eat just alittle I get nauseated. But an hour later I am hungry again. I had fluid taken out of my band 6 or 7 weeks ago due to Gas in the pouch. I went to see the surgeon last week and had lost 10 pounds since the band was loosened so he didnt add any fluid. Why do I feel this way now? I havent done anything different. Any advice...suggestions or anything would be appreciated.

I hope you had that done under a scope. I know it costs more, but in the long run

you may be money ahead. Your port may have come unstiched or if the area

around it is warm, you may have a low grade infection. You know all this,

but you shouldn't be in pain and I hope you do something about it.
