Okay - thanks Dr. Simpson. That probably won't happen because my surgeon is in Mexico and I'm in Ga. I did go to see my general doctor who knew nothing. From looking at the posts on here, it seems that I may have 'flipped' the port over at worst. Guess I'll find out at the 1st fill! Thanks again!

Hey there, I had my surgery a little over a week ago. I have done very well in all regards, except: a couple of days ago I was in a situation where I HAD to exert myself physically. I basically had to lift a person's entire weight in sort of a pushing motion. I was so scared that I might have "popped a stitch." I felt a little bit sore next day, but not too bad. The place where my port is though, is pretty swollen and sticking out way further than the other side of my stomach. My stomach is all lumpy & bumpy and deformed looking. Any advice about this? Thanks! KP

Dear Jena, I wonder if you could give me some info about how you are doing now. I also live in Atlanta & am interested in going to Mexico. I'm concerned about finding a place to have fills. Thanks for any input. Katie
