I haven't experienced it but it might be something going on with your port. Call your dr ASAP!

if its near your port, it most likely is scar tissue building up around it. mine was very sensitive to the touch about a month out. it gets better. if in doubt, call the dr tomorrow and let them know. it will make you feel better.

all the best

I am 2 1/2 yrs out and still have soreness at my port site. Exercise, sitting to lying on that side causes it to be sore. No biggie.

What's considered the port the port site I thought it was where they filled it and it's on my left side near my belly button

You should definitely let your surgeon and primary care physician know about this pain. Are you experiencing any nausea?

I have had similar pain, and also nausea, and have discovered through the series of medical tests that it is all related to my gall bladder.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
