jmc74 22 Posted October 23, 2012 I was banded yesterday and when I walk it feels like something is pulling where my port is. Just wondering if that is normal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcee 3,341 Posted October 23, 2012 Yes. The port is stitched to the muscle so movement can cause it to pull. That is one of the reasons that you are not supposed to do exercises that strain the abdo area for a while after surgery. The port and the stitches need time to settle into place.
