Erin,

Welcome!

What kinda port pain are you having? I know my port hurts from time to time and I am about 3 weeks post op. I havent had my fill yet, but i have no restriction any more either. Just make sure you tell your fill dr that you feel no restriction. I am sure they will give you another fill as soon as they can.

Hey Erin! I am 6 months post op today! I still have port pain from time to time. If I move the wrong way, it can sometimes send a quick pain. Or sometimes, if I have been moving around a lot, it just kind of aches. For example, my husband and I are in the process of packing up our house. My port area was sore for about 2 days from packing and moving heavy boxes. And just last night, I moved just the wrong way, and ouch.

As far as your restriction, it is totally normal! I had ZERO restriction after my first fill. I had a little bit after my 2nd fill, then it went away. I had my third fill 2 weeks ago. I can definitely feel this one. It takes some time. Just be patient. I know its easier said than done! haha Good luck!!!!
