I think I can feel my tubing move!

So, since surgery day, if I bend over a little too far to the left (the side all of my incisions are on) I can feel a strange sensation against my ribs, as if something is rubbing against them. At first I thought it was the port, so called my doc and he said it could either be the port or the tubing. He says it's normal and that it would should stop after I build up scar tissue in there. But, 11 days out from surgery I am still feeling it. I lean to the right when I bend down and I feel like I can't relax when I sit in a straight - up position, I have to lean to the right. I find that if I cover it with my hand and push down on it a little when driving or bending down, it doesn't move as much. It doesn't hurt, it's just a VERY weird and annoying feeling. I am hoping it will stop, but if it doesn't, I may have to have it surgically moved down or something. It's driving me crazy.

It will stop, you just have to be patient. For the first 6-weeks your body is recovering and you just have work with it.

Meant to mention, I kept a pillow close to me for the first 2-3 weeks when I would get up or down or even to bend over.

That happened to me too. I always felt pressure by my ribs. It only felt good when i would put my hand over the spot that was uncomfortable. It does go away, I promise

It does go away. It took me a couple of weeks before I stopped feeling it every time I would do anything. I had pinches for a little while after that, but the weird sensation was completely gone after a month.

I'm 3 months post op and I still get that feeling sometimes when I lay on my left side... But just every now and then. I can feel it right now actually... But I also just had surgery again a week ago to remove my port so that's probably why. Haha... No worries though. It goes away. Also, you're probably more aware ofvyour body right now too since you just had surgery... So you're paying attention to every little sensation.

It took me about 3 weeks before I didn't feel it any more.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
