Pain after 3rd fill



Recommended Posts

I had my 3rd fill on Thursday. By the time I got home I was in alot of port specific pain. The one thing I did do that was not recommended was have a Protein bar when I should of been on mushies. When I eat, it hurts. When I move around, it hurts. I am not feeling sick to my stomach or like I am going to vomit. Its all very specific in the area where it hurts and continues on, each day. I am taking tylenol but when it wears off it hurts.

One other thing is that my port is sticking way out, bulging. And when I pushed on it gently on Friday it moved. Swallowing doesnt bother me at all, its after I swallow and the food is in my stomach that it hurts. I kept waking up last night because I sleep on my stomach and the pain was enough to wake me up. The injection site does not feel warm to the touch. Right now I touched around where the port is underneath my skin and it hurts, but it doesnt hurt right away, its kind of 2 second delayed. What is going on? I have no idea and googling has not had many results. Thanks, Rose

I'd just give your doctor a call to have him/her check it out. You didn't say how far you are out of your surgery though. I'm assuming awhile since you've just received your 3rd fill. The pain isn't in your pouch area above the band? Just around the port? Maybe you've pulled the tissue the port is attached to and irratated it? My port also sticks out, especially when I'm laying down and go to sit up. It doesn't hurt though. I'm in my 5th month now. I'd just call the doc to be sure. It may be just irratated. Let's hope for the best! Good luck to you Rose. Dianne

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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