Thegirlnextdoor 0 Posted March 5, 2009 Hi All, I am 3 months post op. I noticed my port can sometimes be tender . It doesn't hurt though. Has anyone else experianced this ? I have also noticed that my port has moved?? My Husband thinks it's because i'm losing weight ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OneHotMama 0 Posted March 5, 2009 Saturday I'll be 10 weeks post-op and a few weeks ago I noticed discomfort with my port area, not really pain. At this point I've come to the same conclusion that your husband has. I found that if I slouched in chair at all, it would become tender, not as much padding to cushion it? I have since been watching my posture (sitting up straight) and the discomfort has gone away! Scientific? Heck no, just my retarded opinion, LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted March 5, 2009 tgnd, yes -- its very normal. I'm over a year out and I find it still gets a bit tender at times. My doctor did tell me that my port did move as well, and he told me it WAS from weight loss. HTH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wstorms 2 Posted March 5, 2009 I just love reading everyones posts, I always learn so much from them. I am 3 months postop and freaked out the other day because I could not really feel my port. So what did I do? What I always do, I look on this site for answers :cursing:. Turns out my port is now above my scar line, where as before it was right under it. I read one post that said the loss of weight makes the skin sag....seeing some of that now (ARGGG)...and sure enough I can feel my port about an inch and a half above my scar line. I could see why losing weight would shift things around! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MistyD65 1 Posted March 5, 2009 The port doesn't really move;it is attached to your abdominal wall. It's the soft tissue, fat and skin that move. When I lie down, my port is just underneath my scar. Standing, it's above it. This freaked me out at first, but I figured that was what was happening, and my dr confirmed it. :cursing: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
