Lap Band Pain :( Help plez

[A. Stoot 85]

So I had my phys and nutrition evaluation today and I am in pain with my band. I have been having bad acid reflux and now with the acid reflux I have pain at the port and top of my stomach. Any suggestions what it may be, I am fearing slippage before the sleeve. Any ideas or suggestions out there???

Are you unfilled?

Have you tried going to liquids only for a couple of days?

I'm not a doctor, but I've read that often PORT pain can be a sign of erosion. So you may want to get checked out!

Yes MonicaW, I have been on a liquid diet for a couple of days and doing much better thanks. There is still slight pain at the port area but tolerable

You may want to repost this in the Lapband Complications section if you want anymore responses before your doctor's visit.

I once had a case of TERRIBLE port pain caused by....SEX! True story....it took a few days to stop hurting....it was from that area having too much pressure on it during 'the act'.

[A. Stoot 85]

Well MonicaW it's funny you said that because I think that may have been the issue ...

HA! I had wondered if I was the only person that ever happened to! Add it to the list of things I will not miss about my band! I also can't hula hoop without port pain and suffering!
