port pain after running



Recommended Posts

I just started run/walking on my new tredmill. Last night while running my port area felt strange, almost like I irratated sp) it or something. Today while doing dishes I leaded into the sink & felt a little discomfort/cramping in port area. I called doc & left a message. Anyone ever have this??? TY! I have been banded for OVER 1 yr.

I feel something at my port that seems like a side ache, on the uphill portion of my walk. It does not last but is there every day. I do not worry about it but then again, it does not last...... Might want to check with your doc if you are worried!!!

I called doc/ she did not seem concerned AT ALL. It seems to be getting worse. pain when I bend over or stand up straight or touch port area. I am not going to live w/ this. This is NOT normal for me. I made an app to be seen. I'm scared I did damage. How can they tell w/out opening me up????

I am a every day biker and since I have been banded, I also pain in my port site about every other day, especially when i am crouching down and accelerating. I mentioned this and they told me its because I don't suck in my stomach muscles and they are vulnerable to the postiion I am in when I am biking...Just a thought. May try a binder if you have one lying around.

Thank you both for replying. What is a binder?? The pain got really bad yesterday. I felt like I just had surgery all over. hurt to touch, bend over sit up lay down ect... Got very scary! I am feeling better today but I will keep my app for fri. TY!

Well, apparently a scan does not even show if you pulled out a stitch. :frown: I guess she did the scan to make sure everything was still working right. Did GI ect. Scan was good. BUT she thinks I may have pulled a stitch. So, she is hoping it will just heal on its own. :frown: If it keeps bothering me she will go in & move my port down.

Plus when I start exercising again I will wear a binder around my belly for more support. Just ordered one for $15.00 This is where I am at for now. :frown:

Just a regular abd binder should do it for you. I talked to my Doc again yesterday due to the cont port pain with biking. She wasn't concerned and thought the binder was a good idea..Make sure it is nice and tight but breathable...make sure your diaphragm can still move.....Good luck

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
