Port area question

[StephOnee 1]

After having surgery did anybody feel that there port area felt weird when you walk around?? Sometimes I feel like that area on my stomach weighs so much more than the rest of my stomach! It dosen't really hurt..it just feels a little uncomfortable sometimes!! Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Does it usually take longer for the port area to start feeling normal again? (I am only a week out from surgery..and i was just wondering if that is normal), please let me know if you have experienced anything similar!

Oh yes!!!

It took about a month for me to feel better in the port area. You have swelling from the surgery and stitches in the nerves and the muscles that you use regularly.

The sensations I felt varied through the healing process. I had swelling, pain, burning, numbness, tightness and the sensation of something shifting inside me. It is all normal and will take the longest to heal.

I still can feel my port area when I do things like exercise. Its funny because everyone that knows I have had the surgery wants to feel it and stuff, it's like an alien in my stomach.lol It did take a good month before I felt back to my normal self though, very tough recovery.
