Tonyann,

WOW we have so much in common. I also was banded on July 9th and have a 14cc port (and in TX, Houston area)

Domika,I have discomfort with my port also. I can always feel it. Sometimes I feel pain but mostly just that its there. Itchy, pressure, etc. I do bump it a lot. I was told by my unit that a lot can effect your port. Air travel, weather, some people say heat can tighten the band, stress...we all have that, eh?...so many things. The most pain I had was 2wks after surgery when I decided to clean the house. WOW! I really messed myself up for about a week.

Hope this helped a bit.

hi kathie52, we do have so much in common! and i think maybe even our age ! I live in corpus christi,tx. its about 3-4 hrs from houston my husband sisters and brothers live in H-town! and about the port pain i still have it .but it seems it hurts after i eat and if i am more active then normal ! as for my band i still havent reached my green zone my dr. only adds 1-2cc when i get my fills ,i wish he would add more so i can get to the green sooner ! he says that when haveing a 14cc band most patients reach the green zone at about 7cc-8cc.if thats right i still have some time till i get there ! i currently have 5 1/2cc...good luck on your journey you can ffriend me so we can keep in touch!
