The incision where the port was is usually the one they would bring the band out of and use the tools.  This area is usually lots more sore than the rest.  Please let us know what you find out from the surgeon.

I too wish you do as well as you husband.  He has done an awesome job!

I too had some adhesions to the liver and intestines.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.

The sorest part of my tummy is where the port was. Though honestly my port site has never been comfortable. If I bumped against something I would have shooting pains. I won't miss that, I can assure you! But right now.... 6 days out from having the band removed that's where all my pain is.
I'm taking Tylenol and at night I'm taking a muscle relaxer because my stomach has been cramping.

I am too having stomach cramps, thought that was weird..I had ablasion a few years ago & dont have periods or symptoms, so it must be related to the surgery...my big incision hurts still, I cant even fit in my cloths im still so swollen after 10 days...im ready to get these staples out also...

Defy and Lisa!  That is were all my pain was and after a month the pain was gone and I am so not missing the pain that port caused.
