Port Pressure?



Recommended Posts

I've been noticing every once in a while I feel pressure around my port. Is this maybe from eating too much? Anyone else experience this?

I was going to ask a similar question. I feel pressure even a little discomfort/pain around my port when I'm exercising these days. I find myself holding on to that area to make it lessen. I don't know what its from...maybe its bouncing around in there? ha ha. So, I'll be interested in reading what kind of responses you get here!

My NP told me the port will hurt for awhile, and maybe even come and go forever, because it is attached to your ab muscle. Anytime you move you use that muscle so that is why it hurts sometimes.

I've been experiencing port pressure as well, but I'm thinking it's from wearing pants that are too tight at the waist area... Even leggings are causing discomfort. It's only bad when I'm sitting for long periods of time. Not sure if it's related.

Mine will hurt if I'm on my feet for a long time and especially if I go for a walk.

Mine hurts if I am running or doing ab work at the gym, if I am running I often have to hold it in place.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
