Kinda weird question

[chinokitty 0]

Does anyones port hurt? I was pretty sick last week, coughing and such. But the last couple days right where my port is really hurts.

I still have port pain now and again. When I got the food lodged early last week I really started having pain. I think anything that can irritate the torso muscles can probably irritate the port. Coughing always causes my ribs to hurt which is around where my port is, so that is definetly a possibility.

Hope you feel better

Nope, no port pain. But I would imagine it would hurt if I coughed alot because of the muscles around/behind it flexing. Seems like vomitting might have that effect, too.

I walk around holding my left side all the time.

My port kind of aches sometimes and sometimes it is hard for me to breathe deeply.

I never really get pain around it but I do feel it every now and then when I'm using my ab muscles. If you've been coughing a lot, I can see where it might get sore, since it's sutured to your abdominal muscles. Try and take it easy, and feel better soon!

I haven't noticed pain around it but I have noticed it being red sometimes.

Merry Xmas!

I had the Fluid taken out of my band almost 2 weeks ago and the pain went away after a couple of days.

I have a very small band that PA thinks may be adequate enough to restrict even without any fill.

It seems as though I was so restricted that I was starving and my body went into survival mode and stopped losing. Therefore my Dr. made me have another fill and that fill made it so nothing would stay down except Clear liquids and that was barely going down.

The PA took the fill completely out and I still can't eat all I want. I feel great!
