Port Pressure?



Recommended Posts

I've been noticing every once in a while I feel pressure around my port. Is this maybe from eating too much? Anyone else experience this?

I was going to ask a similar question. I feel pressure even a little discomfort/pain around my port when I'm exercising these days. I find myself holding on to that area to make it lessen. I don't know what its from...maybe its bouncing around in there? ha ha. So, I'll be interested in reading what kind of responses you get here!

My NP told me the port will hurt for awhile, and maybe even come and go forever, because it is attached to your ab muscle. Anytime you move you use that muscle so that is why it hurts sometimes.

I've been experiencing port pressure as well, but I'm thinking it's from wearing pants that are too tight at the waist area... Even leggings are causing discomfort. It's only bad when I'm sitting for long periods of time. Not sure if it's related.

Mine will hurt if I'm on my feet for a long time and especially if I go for a walk.

Mine hurts if I am running or doing ab work at the gym, if I am running I often have to hold it in place.

      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.
