Ok So i went to the beach with my girls today, had a BLAST! It was great. But every time I bent over to pick up the football when we were playing, I could feel my port poking me, felt like it was poking my ribs. Is that ok? Happen to anyone else?

I was banded just a few days before you were and I definitely notice the port whenever I bend over multiple times. It's exactly like you described it: a poke! It doesn't seem to bother me as much as it did even 1 week ago, but perhaps I'm just getting used to the sensation.

I can feel my port poking me too. My port is right under my ribcage on the left side. When I am sitting at the table studying or even sitting down watching TV it starts to hurt a little like i feel the pressure on my ribs. I asked my Dr.'s Asst. about it and he said its okay.. and once I start losing weight it will start to feel better. So your not alone in this hehehe... Take Care
