great post (:

I dont have a nick name for mine but I jokingly call it a port baby sometimes lol

Mine didn't advise against it but it's not something I drink normally it was just an idea to help get the gas out at that time and it was the only thing that worked for me!

Hang in there!! I ate lots of popsicles to help the dry mouth. Also to help the gas and bloating I took a couple of chewable antiacids (you can use liquids too) washed it down with a dr. pepper and took a like a 30 minute nap and finally got relief maybe that'll help you cause nothing else seemed to help me at that time lol wishing you a speedy recovery!!

It may be gas...try to take a few gas x strips and see if that helps..hope you feel better!!

So I had my first fill a week ago. The initial shot into the port isn't so bad little discomfort, however afterwards I felt a little sharp abdominal pain. A few days out and now I'm feeling pain on my big scar where the port was place through during surgery. It seems more external than internal now...should I be alarmed?

I had my first fill 3 weeks after surgery

Yeah I had surgery just over a week ago and a few days out i got horrible gas and pressure pains started in the shoulder then went down to the lower left side of my abdomen. The gas strips I had been taking werent working so I got some antacid/antigas chewables (generic tums) and washed it down with just a little dr. pepper laid down for about and hour and that helped cure it! I havent had problems since! Hope this helps! (: I was just vlogging about this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Kv5xDgqKtc&feature=plcp
