Burning PAIN around port



Recommended Posts

Hello all!

I was banded on 6/2008. So far so good. I've had my bad and good days. I'm very sensitive to fills and I'm usually on my back for 2 good days after even a small fill (.5cc). food will get stuck often (once every other day). Just recently I've experienced some buring pain around my port area after eating (without food getting stuck)??:rolleyes: This has never happend before?! Does anyone have any idea? Help.

I would go see your surgeon.

Port pain can mean an infection. Could just be a pulled muscle though.

Is it hot to the touch?

i had the same experience after eating "sometimes"....it was an infection @the port site. please go to your dr and get it checked out; sooner rather than later.

LULUC: Is your pain constant or does it come and go? I had my first episode last Sunday (8days ago) and then again today?! It's a buring painful sensation. It'll last for a good 2-4 hours, and I won't be able to eat or drink anything. But once the pain goes away, I can scarf down food. If it is an infection...should I not have a fever? It's $150 dollars a pop to go see my dr and I want to get some input before spending that $$.

Thanks for all your help.

i was aware of the "annoyance" - sometimes it was pain, sometimes not ... i was just aware that something was up. i had a few tests done, and i had a hernia that needed to be removed. while "in there" my dr noticed a slight infection.

i had no fever, but went through a round of antibiotics to fight the infection for 3 wks.

an endoscope determined it was treated properly & no longer there. my concern was that the infection has the capability of erosion - something i was glad caught early.

is your $150 visit for fills only? can you not have tests run and charge to your insurance? i ask because i was self pay - but my ins has covered fills/drs' visits/hernia surgery/endoscopes. it would be totally worth it to find out.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
