[litl1997 14]

I have been having this pressure under my legt rib daily. I dont know if i pulled a muscle but a couple of days ago i was leaning down and i had a pop sound in my rib like it slipped off my fat lol. Has anyone had this problem, im really concered.

Are you in any pain? I get a bit concerned if I feel any sort of sensation around my port or stomach area. In fact, I am pretty sure I feel things now that have been going on there my entire life, just because I have the band and am aware of it!

But the important thing is, if you are concerned, go and see your dr - sooner rather than later. I feel better getting peace of mind and if there is a problem, you will get it addressed that much more quickly.

_{I've been paranoid about every little twinge I feel in my port area. I also feel like someone is pulling on my belly button from the inside. It's so weird. And I'm probably exacerbating the problem because I keep touching and feeling my port trying to make sure it's not abnormally sore. My doctor is in Mexico so it's difficult for me to see him and I'm afraid to get a fill because my port seems sore (probably from me fondling it 10 million times a day). Catch 22 kind of.}

_{I talked to my patient coordinator and she said all this tightness and stuff sounds normal and I need to keep my paws off my port but it's hard. =)}

Oh my goodness, yes! I am a year post-op and have then pain off and on for about 6 months up until may when it got to much. I went to my surgeon was sent for a barrium swallow and went back a week later for results. The doctor pushed and poked and suggested I may have displaced one of the float ribs. After her wiggled stuff around two days later the eased and then disappeared.

You may have just twisted wrong and pulled a muscle or one of those ribs. If it doesn't go away have you surgeon feel around

I sure will do that. It didnt start until i bent over and heard something pop.

I pulled a muscle about a week after surgery and it was right in the area of the port. It was very sore for a few days them it healed. Oh, and it happened from me twisting. See if you feel better in a few days, if not call the doc.
