Moving the port question..



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone ! I posted a couple of days ago about some port issues I am having.I saw my surgeon today and he had no answer for the redness to the skin on the outside (on top of my port). He did say that my port might be rubbing against muscle/muscle tissue and he says why it was sticking out a couple of days ago was possibly because it flipped. He will be doing a surgery to just move the port to another location. He didnt run any tests on me which I was surprised by. He told me the other stomach issues I am having is unrelated to the port/band.

Anyone else have this surgery? What can I expect ?

Thank you !

I'm having to get mine moved as well from cord wrapping around my diaphragm and its triggering left shoulder pain that feels like the gas pain from original surgery. I'm 2 yrs post op.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
