Sore Port And Possible Swollen?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys. I'm less then 10 months out from surgery with no complications, and down 84 lbs with 30-40 more to go. I'm very active now. I ran a half marathon, I do a fitness boot camp a couple of times a week, go running, and play on a kickball team. All of a sudden (the day after I just so happened to have a kickball game) I woke up and my port area was kind of sore to the touch. I have 3 kids 3 and under, and they are very active (3 year old twin boys and an 18 month old daughter), so I'm constantly holding someone, getting jumped on, etc. I noticed that when they sat in my lap and leaned into my port area, it was tender. It's not red or warm, but that part of my stomach seems like it's sticking out more then normal. I have a lot of excess skin on my stomach so it's hard to tell if it's swollen, but it definitely looks to me like it's sticking out more in that area. It's not PAINFUL, but tender, and something just doesn't feel right. I do a lot of ab work at boot camp, but I've never experienced this before. Can anyone tell me if anything like this has ever happened to them? I did go ahead and make an appointment, but I'm starting to get paranoid about what it might be. Any thoughts or experiences you can share?

May have just over worked the area or it may have flipped its gappened to me three times... If it is they will schedule an appointment to fix it they just open up your port Incision sew it back in place and stitch ya up.. I was awake for both mine. Yes painful and smells awful because of the cotter gun but a week later youll be good to go.. Also mine is currently flipped but ive had two fills and unfills.a good surgeon can minipulate it and still acesess it even backwards

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
