lynzz Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Today my port site is bothering me. I was banded on April 8th, and have not had any real problems with my port until now?? The general area feels sore/irritated, and the scar tissue surrounding it kind of aches. It is not tender to the touch, but hurts inside my abdomen. The only time that it ever bothered me in the past is when I started back exercising in the beginning. I did do a 9 mile hike on Saturday, but the inclines weren't terrible. It was a little strenuous but if that was that, wouldn't it have started hurting yesterday? Does anyone's port hurt from time to time? Help, the hypochondriac in me is starting to take over!

bandgroupie Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Mine does. And sporadically. Going to find out if it's normal this Saturday. I was banded 4/4 so we're out about the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calicat Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 My port area hurts when I overdo something - shoveling bark into flower beds - ya know, silly things like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAgal Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 lynzz, just stop the exercise for a day and take it easy. just like calicat said, it hurt when i overdid anything a few weeks after surgery. it was after about 20 days that all the aches and pain stopped... I guess that's when my body finally felt healed. let your aches and pains be your guide. anything excruciating should not be ignored if it last continuously for a 24 hour period. hanna:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
