One day I noticed it wasn't sensitive anymore, wasn't yowling if I bent over, etc. Good luck to you!

I'm old school on breakups,,,,,, probably bc I'm old. If it were me, I'd work my butt off in that gym EVERY SINGLE DAY. I'd work my band like a Rock Star.... REVENGE, in the form of "See what you missed out on" would be my mantra. Breakups are a Bummer (you know I want to say B----), I've been there for two daughters through theirs and I went through one or two of my own. Like Gloria Gaynor sings, "I WILL SURVIVE." and so will YOU. Best of Luck!

I'm sorry you're going through such a tough time right now. I can't offer anything but support, virtual though it may be. Just know that somewhere out there is someone who is thinking of you and wishing you well.

The port site always takes the longest to heal. I had port pain for quite some time after surgery. I couldn't sleep on my stomach for over 6 weeks. It'll get better, just hang in there!

Yeah! It can be scary to still be experiencing pain! I can tell you that a bit of pain is normal, and even up until 2 months ago, I was consistently feeling pressure when I stretched my abdomen. The port is firmly attached to the inside of your abdominal muscles, and you will feel it! Now I only notice if I am really overextending. Something that I didn't really think about before surgery is that this band is part of my body now, and that I can feel it. When I lay flat on my back there is a bump where the port is, if I palpate my abdomen I can feel a lot of the "hardware," it's just a part of me now... But it's something that I hadn't explicitly counted on, necessarily I'm rambling, sorry.
Either way- no pain for me now, just occasional pressure. "This too shall pass!"
