Pain In The Lap Band Port Site

[yaya1397 79]

I'm one week post op today and I'm having pain near my port site. Is that normal?

[MandaMom23 684]

Yup, very normal. It took almost a month for my port site to feel completely healed.

along with the pain you should also check for increased swelling, redness, and fever. if you don't have any other problems i would say yes it's normal. it takes at least 6 weeks to heal and perhaps more depending where your port is.

One week for me yesterday, same thing. Remember, something has been inserted and stitched in place under there...definitely normal for it to hurt in that spot for sure.

Try not to overdo -- even though you probably feel great now still need to go easy with any bending or lifting that might pull at incision sites. Congratulations on being a week out -- I am just two weeks ahead of you (11/5). So happy!

Thanks for all the great advice! I went back to work this week and I think I kinda over did it! Feeling much better!!
