I think my port popped

[Nikki Riviotta 33]

About a week and a half ago I felt a popping sensation when I leaned over the arm of the couch to pick something up. I shrugged it off to me popping, as I sometimes do but as time goes I feel very uncomfortable sensation as if my port is moving around. Today I feel like its kind of off to my side....not a great feeling. I called the on call doc since it is sunday and he said if I do not have fever nausea or chills I should be okay to wait until Tuesday for my appointment I already have for my surgeon. (The doctor I talked to is not a lapband surgeon just a general surgeon) But I can call and talk to my surgeons nurse tomorrow if need be. I am really scared. Each day that goes by I get more and more uncomfortable. Has anyone else had this issue. Does this advise sound correct? Any advice?

Unless you want to go to the emergency room, I'd take the doctor's advice.

If you feel your port is infected (ie hot, pus seeping, etc.) I wouldn't wait, but

if that's not the case, I think you should follow your instructions.

I was told not to hesitate to call and speak to the bariatric nurses at any time. If you are still uncomfortable tomorrow, call your surgeon's nurse.
