Yesterday was my first full day out. (I am 19 days post op) I wore a girdle and it was comfortable; I was in it for about 11 hours. This morning my port site was tender. I really think my port has moved over some. Is this strange or typical?

I just got a fill on friday and kind of talked about it with my doc!

The port doesn't move. He said it's anchored pretty well to the abdominal wall... BUT the skin and fat over it DO move... with weight loss, position, etc it can appear that your port is several inches away from where it was, but in actuality it's just the outer stuff moving... I was worried because I noticed a hard lump about 4 inches above my port that's been tender after sleeping on my stomach and I can only feel the lump while standing... he felt it and said it was my port. But when I lay down for my fill my port is right next to my port scar... weird

My port moved and was stuck almost upside down between my ribs. About three weeks ago I had to have it moved and now it's lower and stitched in place. So, yes, it can move. Mine stuck out so far from being caught between where my ribs come together that I couldn't hug anyone cuz it would push on the port. It's much better now!! (I am a side sleeper and I'm assuming it wasn't stitched before and that 's why it moved.)

Ok, thanks. It probably was my fat moving around after wearing the girdle.
