Port Moving Around..

[rachelcummings 2]

I was banded on 12-29-11 and I was in for my 3rd fill last week and my port seams to be moving around. Is this a normal thing?.. Just curious And I have also notices last night that its a lil sore at times.. This normal?

I was banded a little over a month before you. Although I have not noticed my port moving or any soreness, I've heard that it can shift as you lose weight. I suggest talking to your doc about the soreness. I think the shifting is normal.

I have lost 60 lbs and my port has moved up..... or I guess my loose skin has moved down. BUT, I have not had any pain.

Yes. Mine can still cause me some discomfort. Depends on what type of activity I'm doing. Mine has moved somewhat since I've lost weight.

I've lost 84 pounds and my port is higher than it was when I started. I was banded in May 2011, and I still have some soreness in that area. My doc says it's normal and not to worry, however, if you are concerned, talk to your doc!

I asked the same question the other day when I got my fill. They were having a bit of trouble finding it and needed to use an ultrasound to locate the port. I told them I thought that it seemed to have rolled or something the week before, but they said it seemed to be fine. Mine hurts a little bit after they move it around to put a fill in, otherwise it's usually fine unless I over exert myself while working out and then I feel a tinge of pain sometimes. Other than that, it beats the 30+ pound I used to carry around.lol

I was banded 11/10 and have lost @ 50 pounds and have about 30 more to go. My post are has been sore lately. I am wondering if it is due to eating too much or bread cracker like foods?

Your port area would not be affected by the food you eats- it is on the outside abdominal muscle. Maybe you doing some more exercise for that particular area or your clothing is rubbing against it?
