OMG, I just posted a similar post not one second ago... We have the same band date!! Two weeks ago. Today suddenly my port area is hurting, as is the area around my second incision (under my left rib).... Mine isn't calling out pain, more of a dull ache...

Yes I had the same thing! It latest about a week, it's just the nerves. But man is it painful! What saved my life was a belly band I bought at kohls. Any type of girdle type item will work, anything that puts pressure in it.

My doctor warned me that would be the most painful part, and he was right!

I have to hold my abdomen if I lean down as leaning over makes me feel the sudden pain...I am trying to figure out what not to do as far as movement....I even read where a person bought a abdominal binder to secure the area...

Trust me the abdominal binder will save ur life! Mine is a belly band from kohls it was $20

My port incision and port were sore and tender for 3 weeks after surgery... the incision actually got infected and opened a bit too which was nasty. If it is red or feels "hot" or is tender to the touch, you might want to go in to your doc to have it checked out because it may be infected and you might need antibiotics. Better safe than sorry!
