Pain in port site



Recommended Posts

I've been banded since July, which is why I'm concerned about having this pain. My port hasn't bothered me for about 2 months, until now. For the past two days I've been having pain on and off in my right side. It hurts to sleep on that side. This morning I pressed on my port, just to see, and a sharp pain spread through my side. I'm not having trouble eating or keeping food down, just the pain. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes I am not sure but I know certain foods will swell up my stomach and I get pain in the port and I am a stomach sleeper also I have heard the more weight u lose that the port site sticks out a little more I was banded in Sept and it comes and goes the pain somedays I can't feel it at all others I can feel it real good I went for my 2nd fill Dec 12th and my Surgeon couldn't find it at first so a little blood came out he hit something else so he rigged it up again second time he made me do a little sit up , however I still have a bruise that finally seems to be going away , usually my Surgeon is pretty good but I will tell him next time I see him , I really do like him cause I can text him at any time , but yes I still get port pain sometimes , not sure if it,s normal but I will ask.

Port pain can recur if you eat a larger than average meal. If it continues, call your doctor to be sure what is going on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
