Port Area Pull?

[downhomechik 41]

M 10 days post op and my port area still is tender. I have to support it with a pillow if I sit too long. While standing doesn't really bother it. Riding in car for too long really aggrevates it. Is this normal?

I've never experienced that, but you are only 10 days post op. If it bothers you, I'd ask your surgeon about it to be safe.

I had some of that.

^{I'm back to work today. Sitting on edge of my chair helps. I also brought my butterfly pillow they gave me at the hospital from the support group. So far, so good. I've got almost 1/2 the day done. I'm off pain meds as of yesterday. My stomach must still be swollen because I've lost 12 lbs since surgery day (7/5) but none of my pants will fit (they are too tight!) so good thing I kept a few older, more comfy pants for work! That was kinda a shocker as I thought my pants would be too loose! I will ask about this on Wed. I got meet with my surgeon to do a post-op. I'm on Puree foods as of Thursday. Yeh, this is a difficult eating time (aka bandster hell)...I pureed egg salad but it definitely made me gassy and I'm paying the price today!!}
