Has anyone ever heard of a band shifting or turing on its side??

Ive been home from the hospital about 5 days. The first couple of days i would feel it and think man thats cool. And now it feels different and hurts. Like maybe i broke the stiches somehow and its turned on its side. When i feel the area where i felt a flat circle before is now just a bump and vertical instead of circular... I dont know if im just freaking for nothing or if sleeping on my side is gonna cost me another night in the hospital =( PLEASE HELP

I had the same thing happen to me about 5 days post op! I stretched, reaching for something and had this sharp pain, like I pulled the stitches or shifted the port.

I've read a thread about somebody whose port had twisted. I'm worried right along with you. I guess we won't know until our first fill! Yikes!

Good luck to us!

Maybe we're just being paranoid? Don't know.

I've felt my port wiggle around a bit---but the good news is that its position is just fine, and doesn't interfere with fill-ability at all.

I think it's normal to feel all kinds of odd sensations as we heal. Our ports take a while to become nicely seated in the muscle, and there is a bit of movement. Most of the time, it's nothing to be worried about.

If you are worried, by all means give your doctor a call.

Wow...I am having the same experience. My port site has been sore since surgery 3-24, but getting less sore by the day. Friday, I felt so good that I rode my bike and walked a lot. I also bent over a few times to pick things up. Yesterday, (SAT) I was having port pain but it felt "different" from the pain I had been having....I called surgeon and she said probably over did it and most likely nothing is wrong. She said if my port moves around, I could have popped a stitch, but I have felt it and it does not move. She also said to ice the area every hour or so for 10 minutes. I will know for sure when I go see her Tuesday for first post op appointment but more than likely, its fine!

I AM PRAYING IT IS.....:bored:
