Pain at Port Site 1 1/2 weeks post op?

[Butterfly512 115]

I know I am still early on after surgery but should the incision and port location still be kind of painful?

It's not even that painful ..just very uncomfortable when sitting, bending over, picking things up, Etc.

Even wearing an underwire bra is annoying and uncomfortable because sitting a bit hunched over or just with my chubby stomach scrunched up..the wire must sit on the port and cause discomfort..I guess I didn't really think about or research this part of the surgery, I hope it won't feel like this forever?

Sounds like my experience. It should slowly improve. If it gets worse or something really painful occurs, call your doc right away.

@@Butterfly512 sounds pretty normal so far. Your still pretty swollen at the port site. The port is affixed to the muscle just under the skin, and it's still healing. All your insides are still healing as well you just don't feel it or see it as you can at something that's so close to the surface.

Give it time, and it will heal up. If you can try wearing a sports bra or one without underwire when you can that really helped me. I am very short waisted so the port site was an issue for me like what you experiencing but it did eventually heal up and I rarely feel it these days.

If you have any kind of redness around the incision, or warmth from the site then I would give the Dr. a call. In the mean time give that area a little TLC and attention when your moving about and it will heal up nicely.

Congratulations and hope your feeling great!!
