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.

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!

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