Hello, I was wondering if anyone could answer my question. Is it normal to have a bit of port discomfort? I bent over the wrong way putting my socks on friday and have been slightly tender at my port site. I had to have my port fixed in April so Im a little nervous it will happen again. Is this something i need to be worried about. i don't know how sensitive this thing is and need to know how careful I have to be. Thanks!

Hopefully, its no big deal...maybe just a slight strain that will go away in a few days. I'm almost four years post banding and last Wednesday, my port area was SORE....I went to six flags amusement park Tuesday, lol....rode every ride I wanted to. Bumpy roller coasters got me good! :)

Thanks Catfish.....i had to have a port revision a month ago so now every little twinge scares the hell out of me. I also had a seroma which had to be drained at my last fill two weeks ago.im sure its no big deal. My port feels like its in the right place.

You should be fine... the port is sewn to the muscle and if you stretched it it could be sore for a couple of days.

Thank you very much NC Granny. LIke I said, since this revision I've been on pins and needles about something else going wrong. I know the chances are slim but with me, who knows LOL.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
