Band (not port) pain! Getting scared....

[b9409 1]

Hi guys!

I am 7 weeks out from surgery....I have 5 ccs in a 10cc band.

I have been having pain at my band site....not my port site. I know it's my band site because they showed me on the x-ray where it was. It is right below my left boob, and my port is to the left of my belly button-ish area.

Since surgery, I have been able to feel my band without pressing down too hard (I can not feel my port at all). In the last few days, I have started to have sharp pains at the band site (i.e. when I stand up, turn, lean forward, ect, roll over). I am starting to get worried that something is wrong.

Has anyone else experienced this, or know why the band would be hurting 7 weeks out? Should I be worried??

I wouldn't know as I'm a few days post.. but I DONT like the sound of that at all... maybe call and ask your surgeon??

As a retired nurse, I would advise you to call your doctor. You may have too much Fluid in it at this time. At any rate this is not normal and it needs to be checked.
