Nine dsys post op port poking me still



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I'm wondering how long will I have a poking feeling every time I move in certain ways specially when I lay down at night???? Is this going go away any time soon? I don't want to second guess myself, but I cannot imagine living like this forever. I guess I just want someone to say this is normal right now, and it's going to get better.

I felt the same exact way after surgery...I thought the port pain would never go away. I think it took a good couple of weeks, but then one day it just wasn't there anymore. Hang in there...it'll get better. :)

I do not remember a poking feeling but sometimes my port is sore from sleeping on it.

I also never had a poking feeling, but if I'm sitting too long, especially kinda bent over like at a table, I have soreness when I straighten my body back up. Every day is better and better though. Be sure to ask at your next post-op and good luck =)

My port area hurt for a couple weeks. It felt like I had done 10000 sit-ups. Totally normal.

Omg right now is poking me Facebook style. I'm trying to have some humor about it or I'm going to worry and I don't want that. Thx

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
