I got my surgery over a year ago, and recently, my port has been hurting, and i have a lot of tissue stiffness around my port. Recently, The pain has been going up to my left breast. I am scared. I live in NM, and got my surgery in AZ. I am scared to go to an ER here, because they know nothing about the Lap Band here. My doctor here said she didn't know what to look for. I am trying to make an appointment in AZ this week. Has anybody has similiar experiances?
