Does anyone get dull pain in their port from time to time?

The thread about the flipped port made me really stop and think. I have been having on and off pain in the port area for awhile now. It's not excruciating most of the time (I can remember one occasion when it was) and some days I don't have it at all, but now I'm wondering if it could possibly be a flipped port.

My fill is scheduled for next week (under fluoroscope), so hopefully I'll know then. I just wanted to check how easy or hard is it to flip your port?

No pain today (of course) LOL.

I get tender around my port occasionally but remember this: Your port is either stitched to muscle (if you have the Lap Band brand) or it is attached to the muscle with metal "teeth" (if you have the Realize Band). I've discovered that, as I become more active, I have days where I do A Lot and then in the evening it can be a bit tender around my port area. I think it's because of muscle pulling. It always goes away, never lasts or is consistent so I just don't worry about it.

I have pain or discomfort at my port site whenever I exercise. I mentioned it at my last fill, they felt where my port is and my surgeon that it's not uncommon, and for me nothing to be worried about...In my case my port was attached to my abdominal wall. I don't know if this is the case with you, but I thought I'd share. Good luck.

Mine is not so much pain as an "awareness" of it being there. Had a fill today and she had to wiggle around a bit to get the saline in. I am now a wee bit sore. (gained 1 since Dec. 4) :thumbup:

I know why, no excuses---

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
