Is it possible to accidently move my port



Recommended Posts

My doctor said that he had attached my port so it won't move. Last night i was doing a yoga stretch and as i twisted my lefts to the right and my head and arms to the left...i felt something weird. I followed by doing set ups and i felt my port. I haven't felt m port in 2 months (i am 3.5 post op). So it is possible that i messed something up with that stretch?

I have a doctor's appoitment this wednesday, but wanted to run it by you guys.

Thanks!

Sometimes my port moves a little. I can feel it and if my pants are tight around my waist and i move a certain way I feel a little pop. Is that what you felt? I have talked to my doctor about this and he said it was fine, there just isnt as much fat around my port so it moves a little but the stitches are fine.

Yep! thats exactly how it felt. and afterwards I was just more aware of it. I don't think its because I was paranoid because everytime I turned my body i felt let as i did when i first got out of the hospital. Not the pain but just i feel it there pushing.

I am ok as of this morning so I will see how it goes.

thanks!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
