Pain upper stomach, left of port.
Navywifey88 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone, I am 7 months out and doing fairly well until recently. I have this almost constant ache, almost like pulling a muscle , just a little left and down from the sternom. My port is on the right side, and for a few months after my surgery I had a lot of discomfort on my left side, mostly my shoulder. Im not sure what's going on.. and being as that my doctor is 3 hours away (just recently moved) I know when I call tomorrow morning they'll tell me to come in.. and that's not really a possiblilty right now. Has anyone else had these pains? What did it turn out to be? Thanks for any info.. the first couple days I figured it'd go away but now im a little worried!! Annaliese -
Thanks so much! That's what I was kind of thinking, but I wanted to be sure.

Well, I am a little over two months out. I have lost 27lbs.. I've had 3 fills. The first was 2ccs. Then 1cc. And yesterday, my fill was only 1/2cc. However up until yesterday I felt a slight restriction.. but not like today. I know everyones number is different. What im wondering is if this really tight feeling, only being able to sip water/isopure, My sweet spot? Or does it mean I might need a little out? Will it stay this tight or will it loosen up a little in the days to come? Im not terribly worried since I can get water and shakes down... And im only liquids for the rest of today and mushys tomorrow. What can I expect in the days to come?? Any info is appreciated! Thanks

Feeling the port??
Navywifey88 replied to Navywifey88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks guys!! Yeah, im pretty sure its just my port. I was so concerned because I was having a lot of pain on my left side down lower and I had believed that was where my port was. So when I felt it higher up on my right side, I was a little worried. But I have my follow~up today in a few hours and hopefully my surgeon will confirm that for me. Thanks for all the kind responses!
