I also have a tiny burning feeling where the port is. But not too bad. If your burning feeling is really bad and different from what it was, can you call the Dr. and ask about it? Maybe that will at least give yoiu some peace.

It can flip over. I've never heard of one becoming detached. Go see your doctor. He'll be able to do an X-ray and see exactly what's going on.

My port did in fact become detached. The dr. does not know why and the strange thing was that just 1 week before I went in for my first fill and actually had an unfill because I was was too tight. Anyhow, I had to have surgery to get it fixed.

To give you a little peace of mind, I did not feel any burning sensation or any kind of symptom.. You may just be experiencing normal symptoms at the port. Don't get yourself all worried over what is probably nothing. Hang in there and good luck to you.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
