Stomach pain above port



Recommended Posts

Yesterday and now today yet I've had alot of stabbing pain in my stomach above the port and kind of between the incision to the left hand side. It's kind of driving me nuts and it could totally not be band related. But the pain was bad enough last night it kept me awake and I couldn't lay on my left side.

Anybody else ever have pains in your stomach like this? I'm hoping its just nothing.

Thanks for the help!

Watch for signs of infection. I had something similar, went to the doc and got an antibiotic, and the stabbing sensation went away. I think I was in the early stages of an infection. I did not want it to get worse so I acted early.

I had an infection at the port site as well. I could not even bend over to put on socks and shoes, but after 10 days of antibiotics it's all gone, and I can exercise again.

I was going to say maybe a possible infection, I have a mild infection as well, I dont have that stabbing feeling, and it seems to be worser after a proten shake! this is day 4 of antibiotics, I'm hope'n it will clear up soon, and I hope that your feeling better, Best wishes and Happy New Year.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
