I Have To Get My Port Moved To The Opposite Side...

[AnnetteT 77]

After 2 months of pain around my port area, my surgeon wants to move my port from my left side to my right side and put it much lower this time. Has anyone had to do this? I was curious about the recovery time and how it differs from the initial lap band surgery I had on March 1.

I have had pretty bad port pain after I eat or even drink for hours ever since my last fill. Also when I vigorously exercise. I'm curious as to when your port pan is and what ends up happening.

My pain is mostly in the evenings after working all day. I'm unable to do any exercise other then walking per the doctor's instructions. They believe my port tore away from the muscle when i was working out at the gym. I don't have any discomfort from eating or drinking. They think it may be rubbing against my ribs and the only way to fix it is to move it and put it much lower this time. I hope you can find a solution to your pain. The lap band is such a different experience for each person. Good luck on your journey!!!
