Secondchanceatlife 38 Posted June 30, 2012 I am 18 days post op, and still can't bend over to put on my tennis shoes to exercise because of soreness where my port is. How long does this usually last? I'm so ready to start exercising! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kah1213 311 Posted June 30, 2012 I had mild port pain like my an muscle was still healing for about 2.5 weeks. I'm 1 month post op and have zero pain now. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donna12 742 Posted June 30, 2012 I'm 17 days post op and can barely bend over or lean over, still uncomfortable so I feel your pain. I did manage to walk 2 days this past week when the weather wasn't so hot but I had on flip flops. Can't get out and walk now as it's topping 107 degrees here in Kentucky. The exact spot where my port is is very tender and sore to touch, I hope this eases some with time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pollyanna12 74 Posted July 1, 2012 I was banded in March and still have tenderness at my port area. If I don't sit up straight itstarts to verge on hurting instead of being tender. My mom would be so proud of my posture! Good luck all. In my eyes it is worth a small ouch when bending over!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
