How long did your port hurt?



Recommended Posts

It's probably to soon for my port to not hurt (6weeks1daypost) anymore but how long did it take for your port to stop hurting?

Honestly, I don't remember my port ever hurting after a few days. For a few days after fills, it's bruised and a little sore, but it's never really hurt. 6 wks is a long time. I'd get it checked out.

I had the band the end of July and recently at the gym I did something and my port hurt for a few days. Oh, ya, I did leg presses. I guess I had the seat too close to where you place your feet. I now push the seat further back. My hub thinks I used different stomach muscles that day. I sometimes sit at the table too close and hurt the port. I know, I am weird but it's the truth.

Wow.. Now that I think about it my port was fine until I did leg presses a week ago too!

I only did it once and I haven't been back to the gym because I sprained my "sacroiliac" (lower back)

I have an appointment tomorrow (:

My port was really sore for several weeks post-surgery. I am just over two months now and it doesn't hurt at all anymore. I think the hardest part for me was figuring out comfortable sleeping positions.

      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.
