Port Discomfort...



Recommended Posts

Hi! I am about 5 weeks out from my lapband surgery and am still having discomfort around the port area. I think I've healed pretty well on the outside, but for some reason I can't roll to the left side while in bed and sometimes I can feel it when I stand after sitting for too long. Is anyone else having this trouble? Or if you had surgery a while ago, do you remember about how long it lasted? I have not had my first fill yet, scheduled for 5/29.

Thanks!!

I'm 2 months out and still have moments of disscomfort. For some reason first thing in the morning it is very pronouned and is a little sore. then as the day goes on it feels better. Also if I wear jeans, they tend to sit right on top of the port site and since they aren't stretchy if I sit a long time and then get up, I will again have a sore feeling. But nothing is ever permanent. I asked my NP about it, but she didn't seemed concerned. Said little pains were to be expected.
