I went in for my first fill last Wednesday (5-23) and since then I've gradually had more and more pain in the muscles around my port. This morning I woke up in bad pain in this area, and anytime I move, the muscles cramp up horribly and I can't move.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm really worried...

Please call Dr. Horgan ASAP if you haven't already done so. Let us know what he says.

I asked that Michele Barjon lady about it last week when I was in for my fill, and she completely brushed it off. The pain wasn't as bad then. Today I called MIBC (I also had to make an apt for a new fill since the first didn't do the trick) and the nurse brushed me off as well, saying she really had no clue about the pain. I have an appointment tomorrow so hopefully everything will be okay until then!

I sure hope so. I'm sorry to hear that the nurses brushed off your problem. Maybe you should mention that to Dr. Horgan when you see him for your appointment. He needs to know how his staff is responding to patients' concerns. Good luck!

Arrrg... So I just called Dr. Horgans cell and he brushed it off and told me just to come in tomorrow. He seemed sort of irritated that I called his cell...but It really hurts =(

I'll let you guys know what happens tomorrow....

Hmmm... you're doing all the right things. It's not like you called Dr. H during the middle of the night, so he had no reason to be rude. Let's see how he responds tomorrow. With luck, your pain will have already vanished.

      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.
