Are you in any pain? I get a bit concerned if I feel any sort of sensation around my port or stomach area. In fact, I am pretty sure I feel things now that have been going on there my entire life, just because I have the band and am aware of it!

But the important thing is, if you are concerned, go and see your dr - sooner rather than later. I feel better getting peace of mind and if there is a problem, you will get it addressed that much more quickly.

I've been paranoid about every little twinge I feel in my port area. I also feel like someone is pulling on my belly button from the inside. It's so weird. And I'm probably exacerbating the problem because I keep touching and feeling my port trying to make sure it's not abnormally sore. My doctor is in Mexico so it's difficult for me to see him and I'm afraid to get a fill because my port seems sore (probably from me fondling it 10 million times a day). Catch 22 kind of.

I talked to my patient coordinator and she said all this tightness and stuff sounds normal and I need to keep my paws off my port but it's hard. =)

Oh my goodness, yes! I am a year post-op and have then pain off and on for about 6 months up until may when it got to much. I went to my surgeon was sent for a barrium swallow and went back a week later for results. The doctor pushed and poked and suggested I may have displaced one of the float ribs. After her wiggled stuff around two days later the eased and then disappeared.

You may have just twisted wrong and pulled a muscle or one of those ribs. If it doesn't go away have you surgeon feel around

I pulled a muscle about a week after surgery and it was right in the area of the port. It was very sore for a few days them it healed. Oh, and it happened from me twisting. See if you feel better in a few days, if not call the doc.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
