Is anyone paranoid about moving the port with excercize?

I am only about two months out from my banding, and my doctor told me to excercise. I have been doing Yoga running and stretching. I can feel my port and my first fill went very well.

I would just talk to your doctor about your concerns.

I exercise 4 days a week. Each time I jog, do weight training, 200 ball crunches, 2 sets of 15 reps on the ab machine with 100lbs, and 2 sets of 24 hanging leg lifts.

I have no port issues. My doc has done pro football players and pro MMA fighters with no issues. If the port is installed correctly, you can basically ignore it.

HI I was banded by Dr Ren too. I replied above that I don't have issues... but also as an FYI I went to the last support group and they had this guy who weight trains a bunch of the NYU'ers and he hits them hard w/ weight work outs to muscle fatigue (but only 5 exercises and 20 mins) so its very intense but short. Then again he did mention that you don't actually need to do ab work. I do serious core work with riding dressage. Haven't had a problem. Let me know what she says.

aah cool. I think im gonna go to the next support group. Perhaps ill see you there..

I know i should probaby ignore it.. I just feel random lil stings and stuff nothign too serious but i feel it on occasion so it reminds me its there..

do you like her btw? Im not a fan shes really dry and not very warm. I like gasper and anne.. they talk and hang out for a while.. she doesnt make me feel very comfortable..

Thanks everyone for your responses!

Hi - i am prob going to the next support group meeting. Actually I felt it a bit yesterday after doing very heavy resistance on the elliptical at intervals (just 2 mins).

She has been different with me maybe because when I walked into my consult w/ her my eye went to the horses on her wall and I own horses. Rather I owned two but the baby I delivered (my horses baby) - was extremely sick for the last couple of months and that was what got me to that high BMI that put me over the edge, so I walked in there and started crying about him. He died the Tuesday after (I had to put him to sleep). I wear his Bracelet daily and I think that if any good comes of his death this is it. I haven't met Anne which is she but I like the Cristinas both nurse and nutritionist. Gaspar was very rushed the first and only time I saw him. Granted he DID squeeze me in because my appt got mixed up.

My name is Helen - we should ask in the group about the port too.

Hi Paula -did you go tonight? I got stuck at work :thumbup: what did you think? Did you ask your port question - they are usually very helpful with these things. I'm finally more or less getting the hang of this thing. Though I still have occassional mini slimes or pb's. Its because of those first bites being too fast.
