I was just wondering if anyone has more pain at the port site incision than the others? Also how long did it last? I just wonder although it's not great pain. I'm one of these people that always worry about everything.

How long have you been banded. It may take you 2-4 weeks to feel less pain. I remember I was very sore but it didn't last too long. Good luck.

I feel your pain. My port site hurts also. I hope it goes away. I feel fine so I'm not going to worry about it. It really only hurts when I press or bump it.

I was banded on 3/19. I wondered if I had done too much today to make it hurt. I was less careful than I had been. How long are you suppose to wait to bend at the waist or lift something over 12 pounds? I'm sure I was told but at my age I'm doing good to remember who I am.

I was banded 3/20 and no matter what I do my port incision hurts. I called the dr, had my pcp look at it and they all say it's fine. I have a seroma so it seeps if I bend over or turn wrong. I hope it gets better soon as it's driving me nuts. Hope yours gets better soon.

My band (and port) is over 2 years old and every now and then my port will be tender. I figure it's a sign I need to go potty. :) .

Mine didn't start really hurting until I got a fill, but now its ok. It was my first one so I will check the next time and see if I have the same problem. I guess it just DEPENDS!!!

It's been 3 weeks since I got banded and my port site is a little sore, but a lot better than say last week. Every day it feels better.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
