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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
