I'm really sorry if this is the wrong place. This is my first post.
I was banded nearing 2 years ago in february. I have lost 60 pounds and have another 20 to go before I think I'll finally feel good about myself. I hadn't been keeping up with the fills and so for the past year I had been between 145 and 160. I've been able to maintain my weight at 145 since I recieved a fill 3 months ago and I plan on getting another in a month. Around the same time as my fill I noticed that there was a bit of discomfort in my port area (this was before the fill which made the fill really uncomfortable and I noticed the doctor had to do a lot of moving around to find the hole). I hadn't really noticed it before, possibly only when I sucked in and raised my arms in the air and even only a little but now I notice it 24/7. It hurts to move around too much, if I slouch it hits my ribs, if I stand up straight the skin stretches too much, and if I'm bloated it sticks out like a knot. This all started happening in just the past few months and at one time while laying on my stomach I felt a popping sensation and then it really stung pretty bad for a few days. I imagine this was one of the stiches ripping. I no longer lay on my stomach if I can help it. I had planned on going to the doctor but the pain subsided after a few days. i've now reached a tipping point because no matter what I do there is always discomfort.
I wanted to ask you guys if it sounded like my port had flipped. I know I can just go to the doctor but his clinic is a few hours from where I live and I wanted to get some opinions in the mean time to either clear my head or give me something more to worry about. :/
I've provided a photo as well. I am very bloated today and this is what I have to deal with.
