Port dislocation

[NoMoBand 278]

"Thanks" and I am approaching my 1 year anniversary on Oct 4. I've lost weight in the past and my most successful story was losing 100 lbs. on the Weight Watchers program but within 5 years after going off the program put it back on and then some. I can also say that this time it has been the easiest I've had to work to get this far. It gets better each day, week.......

You are on your way with 40 lbs. lost already. Awesome! Keep looking forward to even better days ahead and as you said to your husband concerning complications, "But unjust told him you deal with them as they come and it will be worth it in the long run." Don't worry about tomorrow and what it will bring. Keep your eye on the prize today and keep going forward. Keep up the great work!!! Prayers out your way for a speedy recovery. Jake

Wow, do you know what caused it?????? i'm 6 weeks post op and i've been having port pain and a bump on my port incision!!!! It scares me.

It all started with an infection on my port incision. When your body has an infection it just wants to push it out... Kinda like a splinter. And my skin on my port incision is/was super thin because it had previously opened and was just beginning to heal. So the infection and all the extra Fluid build up was trying to work it's way out of my body again and when my thin skin there broke, my body also pushed out the tube that connects my port to my band...

Normal port pain should feel like a dull pain or sore as if you worked out hard... But it shouldn't be burning or stinging. My tube was moving around inside my abdomen and was causing a significant amount of burning and stinging. But I just kinda shrugged it off thinking it was normal. If you're concerned I'd have your doctor look at your bump. Do you have any redness or burning? Is it hot to touch? These are all signs of infection. Hope it gets better. What does your bump look like?
