Advice?

Hello all. I was banded on June 11th 2013. I had my first fill last Thursday 3.25cc's. All was great but the last few days I'm nauseous. Today my port area hurts!! It looks a little swollen like after surgery. I worked for hours at the computer today and it feels like my ribs and the port may have pushed against each other causing soreness? I don't even know if that's possible. I know I'm still healing but is this normal or should I be concerned?

Your port is the last thing to heal, honestly, I was years out and if I wore pants with a waistband that sat on my port for the day, I'd be sore for days after.

You just need to be aware it's there and baby it a bit. Especially after surgery, coz I think it was 3 months before the soreness was completely gone. I had my band replacement surgery in late April and my port is still slightly sore most days.

I agree, my port still gets touchy once in awhile. Most of the time I don't even know it's there, but if I lean on it weird or stretch that area just right, it's sore.

I wouldn't worry about it unless it becomes a chronic issue.

i am 13 months post op, and last week i had been working in the yard and bending over time and time again, and one morning i woke up and it def smarted..i could tell i pulled some scar tissue as it was alittle sore.....i dont think its a big deal...as lellow said, you are still early out after surgery and so its gonna be tender/discomfort until the scar tissue forms around the device and gets all tucked in nicely in the folds of the skin.mine was very tender for about a month...if it continues to hurt or gets red or puss, then call the dr...
