30 days out - port still hurts when...



Recommended Posts

I still feel pain around my port when I bend over. Does anyone else feel this?

Before my port I was able to bend over and do anything. Now when I bend over on the left hand side (to put on shoes or lotion) it hurts. I have to find another angle to do what I need.

Just curious if I'm the only one.

I'm not sure if it my port or not but I posted about this yesterday since I am feeling discomfort as well. I feel it when I bend but sometimes it hurts just walking around. Someone mentioned to me that it might be scar tissue. Where exactly is your pain? Mine is on the left as well but actually a couple of inches above my port scar. According to what I have read it will get better soon!

I'm also just over a month post op and feel the same discomfort. It hurts when I bend over, twist, or put pressure where my port is. Also kind of strange that I can actually feel my port, that is very weird to me. I also notice that if I get really tired or am up late at night, my port starts to bother me. Hopefully as time goes on it will get better!

Mine is directly where the port is. It's aggravating, but not the end of the world.

If I sit still too long, I do feel pain sometimes when I stand. I imagine that will get better, too. It's hard reading other people's post and they're practically running marathons now. LOL.

I know, I know...be patient; every one's body is different. :rolleyes:

      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!
