I also have a tiny burning feeling where the port is. But not too bad. If your burning feeling is really bad and different from what it was, can you call the Dr. and ask about it? Maybe that will at least give yoiu some peace.

It can flip over. I've never heard of one becoming detached. Go see your doctor. He'll be able to do an X-ray and see exactly what's going on.

My port did in fact become detached. The dr. does not know why and the strange thing was that just 1 week before I went in for my first fill and actually had an unfill because I was was too tight. Anyhow, I had to have surgery to get it fixed.

To give you a little peace of mind, I did not feel any burning sensation or any kind of symptom.. You may just be experiencing normal symptoms at the port. Don't get yourself all worried over what is probably nothing. Hang in there and good luck to you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
