Port Pain after the Horizontal Mambo:) Adults Only!!



Recommended Posts

Well I'm 19 days post op and feeling fabulous so I decide to get a little frisky with my DBF:wub:. We've already "danced" since my surgery with no complaints so I was all for hitting the ole horizontal mambo dance floor.

Well apparently I got a little TOOO frisky cause today all around my port site is soooo sore.

On my way to work this morning I called him and told him that I didn't know what the heck I did, but my port site was aching. Well he reminded me of our escapades from yesterday.:)

So just a warning to all you Victorious Valentines out there, it might be a good idea to let ur dance partner do the leading for a little while.:rolleyes:

Same thing happened to me this weekend jloby!! My confidence took over and then I took over my DH.:sneaky: I'm sure the couple glasses of wine I drank gave me the liquid courage to get all sassy with my bad self. DH was lovin' it...but my port area was pretty sore yesterday. I think I'll let him "take the lead" for awhile!! :drool:

Yes but isn't it nice to think that that is why you had port pain, over jeans rubbing and bending down to pick up something from the floor? Rest up.:sneaky:

Marathinner, funny how the men in our lives aren't worried about us hurting ourselves as long as they are benefitting from it. DBF was grinning from ear to ear when I told him

And ur right babedoe4, I could be sore for a lot worse reasons.

It was all worth it though, but I just thought I'd send out a warning :sneaky:

I guess this makes me glad my port is on the upper left side of the chest, right above "the girls" under the bra strap line.

That is such a unique place for the port. Does it show much there? I would imagine it makes it easier to access!

Nope, you cannot see it at all. I can feel it there, but so far, you can't see a thing.

My doctor places it there for that very reason, ease of access. Makes it easy to do a fill without xray.

      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.
