Port site Really Sore

Postby Aimstar » Thu Jul 29, 2010 1:19 am

has anyone else experienced an aching feeling near there port site.

i think the pain is from it getting bumped all the time because i haven't got as much padding over the top.....

going for a check on monday hopefully my surgeon will reveal the answers

I had a few achy issues in the begining and I still get them occasionally- some times for no reason and other times from exercise or just a long day. If my dog jumps on me or I knock it, it hurts a little- the less padding factor!

I had my port checked on Wednesday as it has appeared to have moved up higher, but infacet it's completly secure and my skin and muscle have changed, it's all very normal apparently, so don't sress to much!

My port site was a bit sore this week but I think it was because I was wearing a different bra.
Hope everything is ok

Hi Amistar :)

I have had soreness around my port site on and off. I haven noticed it can be many things some times the way your sit with a hunched back youur put pressure on, tight bras, laying funing on your tummy, even my seat belt! I think its part of having a lap band> hope this has helped you out. :)

Stay Happy Marie :)
