How long is the port site tender after surgery?

[lizster2007 0]

Hi, I was banded Aug 17/07 and my port site is still quite tender if I slightly press on it. I guess I'll just stop pressing on it for now! What I would like to know is if anyone recalls approximately how long their port site was tender/sore. I sure hope it's better before I get my first fill as I can't imagine right now I'd be too happy getting prodded and injected! Please let me know your experience. Thank you. :girl_hug:

My date was august 24th and I wondered the same thing.

Mine is still sore as well.

Im 3 months out and somedays my port is tender, especially when I wake up in the morning if in my sleep I have been laying on it. It also gets tender some days when Im at work because for some reason I sit hunched over in my chair in front of the computer. It doesnt really bother me though and I just correct my posture and it gets better.

Mine is just slightly tender. If I twist funny it hurts. Other than that, I'm great. Banded August 13.

I don't think there is any one answer. When you hit your head on a cabinet, how long does it hurt for you? When you sprain your ankle, how long is it sore to you? Might be TOTALLY different for me.

I still feel tender twinges and I'm just over two months out. Nothing painful, but just slightly tender. I think it HURT for about three weeks. But the hurting feeling was dependent upon what I was doing at the time. Trying to get out of bed hurt more than walking around, and less than getting out of a chair.

Hope that helps, sorry it can't be anything concrete.

Thanks for your response and thanks to the others too. Hopefully, with time all of us never know the port is there (except maybe when we get filled)!
