how will i know it my port is slipping ??? also the right side of my stomach for about a ten cm radius is really hard n my port incision id actually a healing firm with a lump :/

You will be able to feel your port under your skin easily when you touch it- don't worry I think very one freaks out with that at first. The more you loose the easier it will be to feel. You get used to it really quickly. It uses to freak me out at first!

I haven't had a problem with my port except where mine is my skin actually indents but my husband who had his done rwo weeks ago got a hard lump by his port and went to dr. other day. Dr. said it was fluid build-up and when he goes for his first fill if it is still there they will drain it. Thought that strange cause it's a hard big lump....thought fluid would be squishy but they said not to worry.

phew i was freaking out that something was wrong,, im one week post op and my port incision is only starting to hurt now when i move to much or sneeze before it did but now it does is this normal,, its not like a OMG pain,, but like a pulling pain,,

also how would i know if my band had slipped ?

my port incision was sore (tender) for about a month.(moving, standing or getting up or yes, sneezing would make me go yowsie)... remember our skin was cut

and then sewn or glued back together so its got to heal. and yes i have a hard lump where my port is and at the beginning, i could barely feel it but as i am losing more and more, it is kinda more visable and i can def feel that hardness. i like it as i know

this tool is saving my life.

:/ a moth eeekkk,,, i go back to work in just over a week and i work in a domestic & comercial laundry so lifting hanging moving bending running around is all i do all day,,, eeekk

just go easy on it (if it hurts, dont do it) that is how i looked at it.

for example, if i bent this way and it hurt, (or very tender) i didnt do that again.

just do what you can (and taking it easy). i am sure you will be fine

if ever in any doubt, call the dr and let them answer any questions.

thank you im usually one of those people that if something can go wrong it will,,so im crossing my fingers this is different :#

Your still healing. After about 2 wks it will hurt when u move and you will think its tugging. All normal during healing
