Uncomfortable After Eating, At Port Site?.



Recommended Posts

After I eat my port site seems to get uncomfortable almost painful. I have been banded for 2 months and was wondering if anyone else was uncomfortable like this. I had a fill at about 4 weeks post op. But I have never done a barrium or any other x-ray to see that everthing is in place there is lots and lots of scar tissue built up around the port and the band site . I was wondering if any one was uncomfortable or if this could be an infection or erosion..Thanks in advance

hi - i've been banded since 11.18.05 and had a fill in Jan of this year - anyhow, i have also noticed some slight pain around my port side after eating - i think for me it is when I am on the border of eating too much - i don't understand it and it is very minor for me but noticeable.

I have been banded since 02/27/04 and get this affect also. I think sometimes the liquid inside is pushed up the line to the port and somehow makes it move in doing so? and irritates it? anyway I get it also. Trish

If you have this problem, where is your port located? This little detail could be important.

Thanks girls I think that eating too much just might be the problem I went to liquids and it did not do it anymore.. Thank you so much..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
