Sex after band, port site hurts

[SaltLife 17]

Had sex and my port site is super sore and hurt during sex. Has this happened to anyone else?

Looks like you recently had surgery. It is normal for site to be sore/tender for first 4-6 weeks. That site takes the longest to heal. I think it's perfectly normal. However, if you are concerned, doesn't hurt to check w/ the medical professionals.

Yes sweetie it has happened to me as well, I didn't have sex til about a week after my surgery and with him laying on top I felt my port and it was kinda painful. My post is to the right of my belly button and obviously thats a spot where everything hits it and then it's sore the rest of the day. Maybe try another position, thats what we had to do but now that I'm 6 weeks post op I don't have that problem anymore. I hope it gets better for you!!

Thanks ladies! Was hoping it wasn't anything permanent. I guess it will all get better when some of the weight is gone too. Appreciated, thanks.

Speaking from the man side, Lot's of different pleasure positions available. And hopefully one will work for you while you are healing.

Best wishes

I believe the port is tacked onto an abdominal muscle (not 100% positive about that though). Any kind of stomach crunches still hurts my port site 2 1/2 years later. Sex? Guess it would depend on many different variables. I wouldn't worry about the port pain being a long-term problem, though.
