lapband removed port tenderness

[Erica15]

Hello! I had my lap band removed on april 11th 2017 and i came out with very little pain. It took me about 3 weeks to fully recover because i had my gallbladder removed at the same time. I am having some tenderness when i touch around my port area. Has anyone else had this happen?

Erica,

If the pain persists and/or intensifies, I would contact your doctor. Hopefully, the pain will subside on its own and you’ll be able to continue with the fills/band adjustments so that you can continue to enjoy the very gratifying weight loss that you’ve had from the properly adjusted band.
