Okay so I am 4 days post op. Everything has been going great

but today I noticed if I bend down to tie shoe or sit in a weird position

it feels like something near my ribs gets stuck for a second and then

if I sit up or adjust myself I can feel it unflick or get un stuck. I don't

think I am explaining what I am feeling. If anyone knows what I am

talking about please help! I have a feeling it is my port getting

caught on something. I am not exactly sure where my port is at this

point. My follow up appt is june 8. I am just wondering if I should call

my doctor. It is not painful or anything. Just annoying.

The only other thingis now my peeing is weird since surgery. What

I mean is in order to pee I have to concentrate and force it out, where

as before I would just start peeing and my bladder would automatically

push it out. The hospital determined I was peeing plenty. I know I

sounding but that is the only way I know to explain. Advice please!!!!

My husband had that issue with peeing for a lil bit after surgery. It went away within a week.

What you're feeling sounds like your port. I get the same thing and had a hard time describing the feeling...but that definately describes it. And I know mine is my port.

Congratulations! On your new journey!

From what you are describing it is your port:cursing:, give it sometime it needs to heal, I had the same issue with burning sensation.:rolleyes:

As for your pee, did you have a cath put in? What you may want to do to go back to a regular flow is the next time you have to go, put your hand in some warm Water. this will get your bladder back to it where it needs to be. (this is an old army trick and it worked for me, when I had a C section)

Good luck

I agree, it sounds like a port issue .. I had the same unexplainable sensation for about 3 weeks after my surgery.

Now 7 months later, the only problem is my port feel HUGE (externally)now that I have lost weight .

Hang in there- the first week a a real eye opener for most of us.. remember , this is part of your lifestyle change .

I get the same thing. It is the port. I also have some issues with some of my pants, if they hit right in that area. I hope it stops being so obvious, that I get used to it because right now it is uncomfortable.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
