Iam 9 days post op, I went back to work two days ago and I have to work the next four day'! No option I have to save Christmas my husband lost his job!!!!! I have a very sharp pain my left side across from my belly button I'm not sure where my port is but it's not a place where I have a incision but it is bulged a little and I feel like it may be my port ?? I know it's a very fragile time but believe when I say I have NO choice I have to go to work!! I'm a CNA for a elderly man I don't lift him but I do have to use a lil of my weight to pull (help)him up.i take it easy watch TV when he does ect , if his wife knows I'm in pain she will send me home but I have to have the money!! Does anyone know where your port site is? And is there something I could wear to help me ??

I responded to the other post. But as far as wearing something there are abdominal binders that u could use that might help give your tummy support. I believe u can find them at Walmart or any drugstore. The spot you're describing I what mine feels like too. That's where your tummy is swollen and yes the port is in that area.

I responded to u lifewillbegood via my email did u get my message very curious ?

No I didn't. What email did u use?
