Sore Port And Possible Swollen?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys. I'm less then 10 months out from surgery with no complications, and down 84 lbs with 30-40 more to go. I'm very active now. I ran a half marathon, I do a fitness boot camp a couple of times a week, go running, and play on a kickball team. All of a sudden (the day after I just so happened to have a kickball game) I woke up and my port area was kind of sore to the touch. I have 3 kids 3 and under, and they are very active (3 year old twin boys and an 18 month old daughter), so I'm constantly holding someone, getting jumped on, etc. I noticed that when they sat in my lap and leaned into my port area, it was tender. It's not red or warm, but that part of my stomach seems like it's sticking out more then normal. I have a lot of excess skin on my stomach so it's hard to tell if it's swollen, but it definitely looks to me like it's sticking out more in that area. It's not PAINFUL, but tender, and something just doesn't feel right. I do a lot of ab work at boot camp, but I've never experienced this before. Can anyone tell me if anything like this has ever happened to them? I did go ahead and make an appointment, but I'm starting to get paranoid about what it might be. Any thoughts or experiences you can share?

May have just over worked the area or it may have flipped its gappened to me three times... If it is they will schedule an appointment to fix it they just open up your port Incision sew it back in place and stitch ya up.. I was awake for both mine. Yes painful and smells awful because of the cotter gun but a week later youll be good to go.. Also mine is currently flipped but ive had two fills and unfills.a good surgeon can minipulate it and still acesess it even backwards

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
