I'm 5 days post-op of laproscopic Lap-Band.  Everything seems to be healing fine.  I'm just feeling discomfort/pain from the inscision and the port.  Anyone else ever feel theirs?  Does this go away with the swelling?

I didn't have Lap-Band so I can't say for sure but that sounds like it's probably normal.  I still have pain at my incision sites and I"m 6 days out from RNY.  I have no "new" object for my body to get used to so I imagine it's your body trying to grow the appropriate scar tissue around the port and to heal.  However, if it's really bad pain or it keeps up, I would definitely call your doctor's office and ask.  That is what they do for a living and the do expect the phone calls!!  Don't worry about them.  :-)

HOpe you're feeling better soon!

I also have heard that the port is the most sore area for a while... hope you are doing well otherwise.  My surgery is Jan 6!
