Quick Question About Port



Recommended Posts

Hey!

I have a quick question! I am 25 days POST surgery and having been doing well. I used to be able to feel my port, as weird as it was it felt squishy and round and I could feel it. Now I woke up this morning, and it seems to have disappeared and I can't feel it anymore. Is that normal or has anyone dealt with that?? Please let me know! Thanks!

It was like 2 months after my surgery before i felt my port , I am wondering what you felt was scar tissue. I am almost 14 wks out and i can feel my port real easy.When i get my fills they do them while i am standing up.

When I first had the surgery I could feel my port with no problem, but im over a month post op, I could still feel it a little but not as much as before.

I'm about 6 days post op and I don't even know where my port is! I've gently felt around all the incision to see if I could feel it but I can't and I don't want to poke around too much at this point of course.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
