Port Discomfort

I've been experiencing a little port discomfort lately. It feels like a slight pull, and it's not all the time. In addition to that, I've been quite gassy / tummy very bubbly.

My port area definitely bothered me Sat night, when we were dancing at a Halloween party, later in the evening. I was actually rubbing it a little. It hurt to dance, but I still kept dancing.

Let me say, this has been happening on & off the last few weeks. Does it have anything to do with possibly being bloated (ocassionally constipated)? :(

Has anyone ever dealt with this discomfort?

I would suggest you both check with your doctors. You shouldn't be having pain at your port.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks AJ.

Tonyann > Sounds like we have the same issue. I'm actually going to take a pain pill now. I hope you feel better soon too. I have a Dr apt next Tuesday, so I think I'm going to mention this to the Dr & see what he says. Contact me Tuesday afternoon (if you remember & dont call yr Dr first), and I"ll let you know what he says.

That was happening to me and I ignored it cuz of my low tolerance for pain. I thought I was being too sensitive. Went in for my first fill and found out my port flipped 180°. Couldn't fill. Have to go back in and flip it right side up before I can get my first fill. I wish you guys the best with no complicatipns. If you're on MFP, Please look me up.

Some of you are familiar with my port flip issue. Today was my procedure to correct this. Dr went back in, repositioned it & re anchored it. Still have not had my first fill. He gave me 1cc just to facilitate the procedure. Full food and still no restriction. Next appointment 11/19/12 for possible first fill...UGH.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
