I think my port popped

About a week and a half ago I felt a popping sensation when I leaned over the arm of the couch to pick something up. I shrugged it off to me popping, as I sometimes do but as time goes I feel very uncomfortable sensation as if my port is moving around. Today I feel like its kind of off to my side....not a great feeling. I called the on call doc since it is sunday and he said if I do not have fever nausea or chills I should be okay to wait until Tuesday for my appointment I already have for my surgeon. (The doctor I talked to is not a lapband surgeon just a general surgeon) But I can call and talk to my surgeons nurse tomorrow if need be. I am really scared. Each day that goes by I get more and more uncomfortable. Has anyone else had this issue. Does this advise sound correct? Any advice??sad.gif

I would assume a surgeon would have a better grasp on this than most of us, so yes, it sounds like good advice as long as there is no fever, nausea, swelling or chills. If you are still anxious, call your surgeon's office tomorrow and talk to the nurse. And since you have an appointment on Tuesday, it sounds like perfect timing. Good Luck.
