I am about 7 weeks post op and for the last 3 days I have had a lot of pain on/around my port. It hurts when I breathe in and gives me what feels like a side ache. It is also tender to the touch. I was in the ocean in some pretty strong waves and I'm wondering if I did something to it. My port hasn't hurt for a few weeks now and I thought it was completely healed. Does anyone have experience with port pain like this? Thanks in advance for your help!!

I am about 4 weeks post-op and go in for my first fill next week. The first couple of weeks I dropped weight quickly, but now that I am able to eat solid foods again I feel like I am at a stand still. I try to eat healthy and eat small portions, but I think I am just able to eat too much. Am I not being disciplined enough or is this common before your first fill?

I thought I was going to go crazy with the itchiness, but it does go away! Until then, try putting ice packs on to numb the pain.

Thanks for all of the advice! Calling my doctor this morning!

Hello Everyone! I am 5 days post-op and feeling pretty good. However, I am getting a little nervous for Thanksgiving in a couple days! Does anyone have any advice for me on what to eat or not to eat? I am currently able to eat full liquids (i.e. pudding, applesauce, Protein shakes, etc.). I am hoping to be able to eat some foods that the rest of my family will be eating like mashed potatoes and really soft turkey. Am I dreaming about being ready for that? Advice is appreciated! Thanks!
