port pain

Hedwig · August 17, 2006

I think if anyone has read my last posts you all know about my problem. So heres the thing, my port is still tender and burns a bit. I am sure from all the other problems inside. Even so, It has always been tender. Is it normal? Also I have a weird feeling in my throat. Like a lump or kind of like when u push on your throat when u swollow. I have no fill yet. I am sure I am swollen inside from my being sick to my stomach for the past 2 weeks. Besides that is this normal? I mean is it common to feel that lump and have a sore port after being banded for 3 months. I am not to worried about it. just hope it hasn't slipped. I think I read somewhere that others have felt this. thanks again guys.

I was really hoping someone has a clue as to what that weird feeling in the throat is, and if its normal for your port to still hurt some after 3 months. I love my band. No complaints just trying to figure out what the uncomfortablness is about. I will find out in a couple weeks when I get my fill. thanks again

I don't know but I'm almost 6 weeks postop and for the first time since right after surgery I've had port pain this weekend. I know what from. I took our pool down Thursday and it is one of those huge above ground ones and I tugged and tugged and tugged on that thing trying to take it down and all weekend it hurt when I bent over and stung like crazy. I know I overdid it plus I helped my husband cut down trees all day yesterday. Just plum overdid it, so yes, I have the port pain and was sore after my fill for a couple of days, I think from the poking. Hope your feeling better soon.

I don't know about the feeling in your throat, but I have port pain usually after I eat - especially if I eat too much. I had my surgery in Jan of 05. I went to have a fill yesterday and my doc thinks that I have a kink in my tube. I dont' think that has anything to do with the port pain though, I have had port pain as long as I can remember and I have had fills before. The kink is new. Good luck with your band but I'd ask the doc about the throat thing.
