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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
