Pain in port site

[AmandaC521 0]

I've been banded since July, which is why I'm concerned about having this pain. My port hasn't bothered me for about 2 months, until now. For the past two days I've been having pain on and off in my right side. It hurts to sleep on that side. This morning I pressed on my port, just to see, and a sharp pain spread through my side. I'm not having trouble eating or keeping food down, just the pain. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes I am not sure but I know certain foods will swell up my stomach and I get pain in the port and I am a stomach sleeper also I have heard the more weight u lose that the port site sticks out a little more I was banded in Sept and it comes and goes the pain somedays I can't feel it at all others I can feel it real good I went for my 2nd fill Dec 12th and my Surgeon couldn't find it at first so a little blood came out he hit something else so he rigged it up again second time he made me do a little sit up , however I still have a bruise that finally seems to be going away , usually my Surgeon is pretty good but I will tell him next time I see him , I really do like him cause I can text him at any time , but yes I still get port pain sometimes , not sure if it,s normal but I will ask.

Port pain can recur if you eat a larger than average meal. If it continues, call your doctor to be sure what is going on.
