 Hi everyone,
I have a feeling that is confusing me and need to know if it is normal or not.
I have an ongoing pain with or without touching the place where the end of the band is(in my tummy).
Is it normal?

Your port?

How long have you had the band?  Is the area swollen or warm to the touch (possible infection).

Is it pain or soreness?  

The port incision was certainly 'sensitive' to me for several months post-op -- but I would not refer to it as 'pain'

If you are concerned, please contact your surgeon and ask for advice.

 I had my lap band op on Dec.28,2010.
I can touch it easily. I have lost 22 kg in 4 months. I almost reached my goal. But I keep feeling some pain in the same place. 
What do u think?

It is always best to contact your surgeon to make sure that every thing is ok.

Are you doing extra exercise?  ie ab exercises?

My port is attached to a muscle and sometimes when I overdo the ab exercises I can feel a little tightness in the area.  Not pain though. 

At almost 2 months out my surgeon still checks my incisions and asks me if I have any pain or concerns regarding my port area.  So far so good.
