Stretched Port Muscle



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Just a quick question, about 2 days ago i started having some pain in my port area. Its sort of a twinging pain that I feel when I'm walking around or doing anything other then sitting. When I lay down to sleep i can't stay on my side for very long because it starts to hurt then too.

My theory is that I stretched the muscle in the car the other day when I reached into the back seat to grab my purse.

I'm hesitant to call my doctor because he's on vacation this month. If I have a problem I will have to go to the emergency room, and some one who probably doesn't know much about lap bands will see me. I was hoping to avoid all of that.

What do you guys think, has any thing like this happened to any one? Is it serious?

I reached in the back of my carseat to pick up a gallon of milk from the front seat instead of getting out of the car and going around to the back door. It hurt like crap. It stung like a bad bee sting and was sore to tie my shoes or bend over. It lasted a couple of days and is now all better. That's exactly what it sounds like to me.

      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?
