I was laying down today for a nap and out of no where my two year old jumped on my stomach, causing intense discomfort and pain to my port sight and now my stomach hurts. The port sight is tender to the touch and its uncomfortable. What are the chances of me messing something up ?

The feeling is best described as someone punching you on the side of your stomach and taking the breath out of you. Ouch.......

You should be OK, but sore for a few days. I doubt if any permanent damage was done.

Good luck,

I would guess that you are ok. I had a student get a really good kick to my stomach two months after surgery. I was tender for a few days but then I was fine.

Awesome news to know. I'm still in a bit of pain and it's very sore. Thank you guys for the comforting words.

How far out of surgery are you? I would contact your doctor and get their opinion. We are after all just people on the internet.

I'm almost three months post op. I called earlier and my physician's assistant said the same thing the other bandsters previously mentioned. So I just have to stick out with the soreness for a few days .

My son did that to me about 2-3 weeks post op. I thought for sure there was something dislodged, but the dr said everything was in the right spot! I was sore for a few days, but back to normal soon after. Good luck!

Thanks dmom!!! Glad to hear nothing went wrong! Kids I tell ya..

My Shih-tzu did the same thing to me shortly after surgery. Hurt like heck for a few days but no damage done!

My Boxer did that to me while I was sleeping. Foot right on the port. I felt the whole thing move inside, I thought for sure that my band slipped down.

It's fine... It took a while, scared me something terrible. Hurt a lot.

So now she does not come up on my bed at all ! I put up a gate to keep her out.

Our cats do the same thing...they seem to know exactly where my port is! Now I just cover it with my hand when they jump up on the couch or the bed, just in case.

My 2 (or maybe my 4) yr old dud that to me a few weeks back - hurt like hell, but no damage
