Pain in port site when exercising.



Recommended Posts

I have been doing the 30 day squat challenge and I keep feeling a pulling very painful sensation right where my port is when doing the exercise. It almost feels like it is ripping or flipping if that makes sense. Does this happen to anyone else? I refuse to give up! I'm on day 27!

Have it checked. I'm having a port replacement on May 10th.

I felt a pain just turning in bed. It woke me up enough to be concerned. Sure enough, when I went for a fill the doctor couldn't do it because my port flipped, movements can pull your port out if you're not careful. I did mine in my sleep but the pain was enough to wake me up.

Good luck whatever you decide.

hmm, still very early banded....i know my port area was very sore/tender for about a month esp with the scar tissue forming around it...it def gave me a pulling sensation....if you are concerned, call and discuss with your doctor. (did he okay you to exercise so soon after surgery as it was 4/30 by your post)?

I had to look twice myself...but her date was in 2012 and not just this year. At first I thought she must be super woman to be rocking a squat challenge so soon after being banded....LOL.... :P

I can feel it, my doc said it's normal, especially when doing ab work. If it hurts I stop.

      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.
