Port Feels Like It Is Pulling Downwards?!?

[prettysmart1913 48]

I am 10 days post op. When I stand up I feel like my port is being pulled downward. Anyone else experience that feeling? I can't walk around with out holding my belly in.

I'm 30 days post op , two weeks ago or since I had the surgery I had the same feeling. I even had problems when I tried sleeping. I felt like the port and band was hanging in there. The Good news is that in a couple of weeks your muscle will build up and that feeling will go away.

nothing wrong, just a weird type sensation

Had a very similar feeling with port. I thought I had to hold it to keep it in place. !! Lol

Not the obvious though. Just a healing phase. I'm great now, 16 days post op;)

Im a side sleeper and I had that same feeling only when I would try sleeping on my left side. Well I woke up on my left side a couple of days ago - no "hanging" feeling. Yaaaay. Give it a little more time and you should be ok.

Ok. I appreciate the responses. It now feels ok when I first stand up and I can twist and turn with no issues so that's a step in the right direction. However the tug I feel when standing up straight is painful unless I actually hold my top tummy (lol) up a little.

I still have this and alot of pain at times, 3 weeks out...hope it goes away? Felt for a couple weeks like someone was inside pulling my guts inward as if trying to rip something away from my abdominal wall? I also had a hiatal hernia fixed at time of surgery but have been told its the port incision site?
