Pinchy Port Pain?

Considering_It
on 2/10/10 8:40 am
I have a (fading) bruise at the incision where the port was put in, and another bruise over where I believe the port to be.  When I twist or lean forward, I feel a pinchy pain in this area.  It's not horrendous, just a nagging kind of thing.  I don't know if it is more sensitive than normal due to the bruising.
Did/does anyone else experience this?  Does this sensation go away after you are fully healed?

Thanks :)

The surgeon's office told me today it may ache for 2 months and eventually I'd forget it was there!  I have a low profile lap port-it's AP lap band.  I got my first fill today and it was okay.  Not as bad as I imagined at all.

I am 4 weeks out - and have some pain as well.   It's like if I bend in a certain way I'm hitting something up against that port that creates some pain.    Very odd feeling.

I had those same pains also feels like something pulling....well I talked to the surgeon about it and he told me its the hook like fasteners that are on all sizes of the realize band port, unlike I believe the lap band has sutures to fasten the port on the realize band does both. Its a odd feeling and it made me worry that something was wrong but it was just healing. He said once the scar tissue gets around the hooks that are put into muscle occurs and they are healed the pain will stop. I am 10 weeks out this week and I feel a slight twinge every now and again but its more than not gone. Hope this helps you.

Believe it or not, the pain went away this week, and I feel like I never had surgery!
