I am 17 days post op. The first 4-5 days I was sore (obviously from my body going through surgery) but after that everything started feeling normal. The last two days, i have been having a lot of sensitivity at the port site and can feel it when laying a certain way or getting up from a chair or bed. Its not painful, just uncomfortable. Is this normal? Is it just because it's healing?

sounds like the scar tissue is forming around the port. when mine did (about a month out) it was very tender (it didnt hurt) just very tender when i touched it...so i assume as you lay on it, it would (hurt) somewhat. it will get better. i am just over 2 months out and it dont hurt at all nor do i realize its there (unless i seek it out with my fingers)

all the best :)

Me too! I had surgery July 17th and was basically fine then this last week, if I get up too fast or turn a certain way, wow it feels like it's moved or stuck on my ribs or something! I go for my 1st fill on the 28th, if still like this will ask Dr. about it! Let me know if you hear anything!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
