Feeling the port
Friday, January 12th was my first day back to work. People I work closely with noticed that I lost weight which made me feel good. I have kept my lapband surgery a secret, even from my family and only two people know. Thank God for the hiatal hernia and this is what everyone knew I was repairing.
Wearing a business suit became a little painful towards the end of the day. I couldn't wait to come home and change to something more comfortable. And... as I was doing that, I felt the port for the first time! I was so scared, thinking I did something wrong, wondering if my pantyhose was putting pressure on it the whole day and now I could feel it. A thousand thoughts were going through my head and couldn't really relax. I kept putting my hand on it, trying to understand why on earth I am feeling it now. I am still very conscious about it today. I still keep putting my hand on it, slightly pressing it. I never realized that I can actually feel it. I honestly do not like that but now it's done. I certainly don't regret having the band, but if I can feel the port with such slight pressure, so will someone who is holding me or be intimate with me. Now THAT is a major problem! No answers on that one yet. I'll have to wait and deal with it when it happens.
