I was at the gym today and always do the same machines. I do a leg press machine and today it hurt my port. I told my husband when I got home (he is sick, so wasn't with me), He thinks it was because the seat was too close and it made my stomach stick out more than usual. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Have a great evening everyone.

Sorry, no...at lest for me....I leg press 380lbs.....2 reps of 12......not everyday though....

I did experience a different type of pain at my port though...a sharp stabbing pain.....

My Dr. explained to me it is because it is attached to my Ab Muscles, and as my Abs get tighter it tugs on the port.....

What B-52 said has been my experience.

My port stuck out so far from all the weight that I lost, it bumped into everything and was pretty painful so last year I had a port revision surgery and my doctor put a smaller port in under my stomach muscle and it is so much better. It no longer hurts during workouts and it doesn't get banged around anymore.

He put it UNDER your stomach Muscle?? I have to ask him about this....never heard it can be done...My port sticks out like a golf ball right under my skin, you can even see the tubing come from it for about 2-3" before it goes deep to the band.....it's attached on top of the muscle, with no to conceal it.....

He told me I already have the more smaller port, (realize) and there is nothing he can do but move it laterally....

If it is under the muscle, is it attached to anything? Is there any possibility it can do damaged to some organs such as the liver etc?

I need to ask my Dr. next time I see him at the Hospital...

Mine was the same way, a huge golf ball and I felt like it stuck out further than anything so it got banged into all the time. I found myself automatically protecting it. If I could attach a pic I would.

My doctor used the same incision. He had another doctor in there to stretch and hold the skin open while he moved the port. I'm guessing its between my rib cage and stomach muscle. He cut into the muscle. I can't feel it anymore unless I dig around looking for it. It's pretty amazing. It makes for interesting adjustments. The needle going through the muscle to get to the port. It sounds worse than it is. It's not bad at all. Next time I see my doc ill ask more questions about it and let you know.

How many incisions do they make when you have port revision? One grl one this form that I talk to had the band done 3/6/13 and she said they put her port in her arm pit. I had never heard of that either.

Only one incision. My doctor went through the original scar, and it was just the knife scar not the laparoscopic ones. The armpit seems odd. But who knows..boobs go through armpits.
