Worried about new pain

By Young and banded

· 671 views

So i had my surgery end of March, so soon to be 5 months, and for the past 3 weeks or so, ive been getting a sharp pain in my stomach where the port (i guess thats what its called) is. When i touch it, you can feel it hard. I know they say the more weight you lose the more visible it is and easier to touch. But ive barely lost anything, and its almost sticking out. And its very painful, almost like needle is trying to poke it. I cant lay on my stomach anymore, and it hurts when im in certain angles on my side. Im afraid its moved (if thats even possible). Any ideas what it could be, any similar experiences with anyone?

    It could be an infected port site so I'd suggest going to the doc's office and have it checked out.

    Most definite go see your Dr! it could have flipped. The one thing I learned quickly..even the Dr suggested it..if you want to be successful you need to make sure your surgeon/dr does their job! They are there for you..USE THEM! Call them and go see them..do not let things get out of hand..if you do it can cause more problems. Sometimes worrying about a pain makes it hurt even worse..so going to the Dr to eliminate your worse fears will help you as well! Take care!
