port sore

Hi all, I am 4 months out and 69 ponds lighter-----suddenly 2 days ago my port started to be really sore. Is this normal? Did anyone else get this? Michelle

I would not consider any pain "normal". I suggest you talk to your doctor, or a nurse. That is just my thoughts, but I am only 3 months out so I am new at this.

I saw my PCP for pain that seems to originate near my port, he decided it is probably the port or tubing and that I should contact my bariatric surgeon for advice.  Before I could even make an appointment with the bariatric surgeon, they called me.  My PCP sent them an email telling them I had been in and had what seemed to be pain at the port site and they called me immediately.  Call your surgeon's office tomorrow just to run it by them.
