Is it just sore hurt, or like incision pain hurt :(?

The port site will hurt for a while. It is the largest, most invasive cut with the stitching, etc. Mine was sore for the first 4-6 weeks. It gets better though. Hang in there.

I'm about 3 months out and I hardly notice mine anymore. I asked my nurse today if that was normal, she said that I had a new slimmer port and that I really shouldn't feel it unless it gets hit directly or after a fill.

I am eight weeks out and can honestly say that just this week I can't even tell where it is! Cannot feel the port anymore!

Gosh the past day or so its really sore, I still have the bandages on (9 days post op) and there is no redness to make me think infection but I am pretty sure that big lump is the port and associated swelling. It's actually most sore next to the bandage (vs under) where the lump is. I assume this is what you are all taking about?

Hi Dolphintat, I don't have any lumps. Ya the other incisions are fun, just the port, guess this takes longer o heal.

I'm 2 weeks out and I have lumps in all the incisions but I was told it was the stiches they put from the inside. As for pain I feel nothing. Last week the incisions were all itchy and drove me crazy but this weekend I am able to lay on my stomach and I feel perfectly normal.

Is it the norm for the port to be above the largest incision? My surgery was on the 7th & that is the only place that I have experienced pain, I thought it was my port. Now, when I lay down I can feel a hard bump just beside it in the center of my abdomen about 5" above my belly button & this is where the real deep pain is coming from. I'm not sure where my port is, I asked the recovery room nurses before I was discharged & they said they weren't sure & that my surgeon had just gone began her next surgery.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
