I am not quite 2 weeks post-op, and today I got this awful pain in the largest incision. I felt a big bump in it and it was hard and round and I thought uh..oh. So I felt down about 2.5 to 3 inches below where port was....and sure enough it has moved. It hurts so bad because it is rubbing on the inside of the incision. I will call doctor first thing in the morning, but I am scared. Will she have to open me up and move it back down, or do these things move around????

Any input would be appreciated.

thanks

Okay, I take it from no response......... that the ports usually don't move around. So I guess I have a small problem, but I am hoping it's really nothing.

Hi Jana,

I've heard of ports moving as people lose weight, but you're really close to surgery. Can you feel it right under your skin? Because that's definitely not normal. Sounds like a call to your surgeon is in order. Keep us posted!

Anne,

Yes definately right under the skin( at the incision)

My incision isn't totally healed yet, and I keep worrying that the port will rub its way back thru it. I will definately call first thing in the morning.

Thanks for replying to me.

Does it feel like it is in a differn't place when you are laying down or standing up?

I would call the Dr. But it could just be the differen;t positions your in.

Go see her tomorrow to put your self at ease. Then let us know that your ok. I would call tonight if the pain gets worse though.
