Port Pain/discomfort

Good morning, I hope someone can shed some light on what is happening right now. I had my surgery May 11th and everything has been running smoothly since. The only issue I've had has been using the restroom. Yesterday I knew I had to go so was pushing hard to go and now where my port is and under my ribs is a different kind of feeling since the surgery. I pray my port didnt flip that I've heard so much about, i dont recall reading anything about pain or discomfort. I'm very nervous that I might of done something wrong. Any thoughts would be great.

Tammy, if you are really worried, please contact your doctor. I doubt that you have actually caused your port to flip simply by straining, but it is more important that you have peace of mind.

Thanks SageTracey for the advise. I have my follow up appt with the doc tomorrow. Just nervous because I wanted this so badly and am afraid something could go wrong and have to take it out. The whole bathroom issue is my fault because of not taking benefiber like I should of and that aggravates me to no end. Thanks again.

I was going to recommend benefiber. I add it every morning to my Greek yogurt. I also take Vitafusion gummy fiber in the morning and a couple at night.
