Did I flip my port?!

So I am 6 days post op and I have been having the most pain when sitting at a 90 degree angle. Today I bent over as a reflex too fast and hard and it hurt soooo bad at the port site. Now I have a dull pain that won't go away. Is it possible to flip it by bending over? I'm nervous that I messed up already?

i understand your concern, but unfortunalty no one here is gonna be able to answer that question. Call your surgeon, i'm sure they're used to getting calls all the time. Better safe than sorry later. keep us posted

It is possible! if the pain is localised and is painful on pressing gently.. Then it maybe the case.. Apparently they only use staples to secure it.. this happened to me ans I had to go and havew it resited..

It could be just wind/Gas but if it hurts on pressing I would say there is something not right ! My Surgeon could not get the Fill in that was another indication...

Good luck hope its just the healing process and you have low pain threshold as it is only 6 days Post Op early days yet!

Good news! I spoke with the nurse today and she said that they have had maybe three flips in the time theyve been doing it. They actually sew the ports into the stomach muscles really really well. She said the pain I am feeling is normal.
