Can your partner feel it? I dont have a Significant other, but I am sure I will in the near future, and I dont know if I would share my secret...so is it obvious...also, does EVERYONE experience the gurglie noises? DO TELL:confused:

My port is well below the surface - no problem there. I expect yours will be, too - unless you happen to have a very flat belly.

As for the gurglie noises - uh - yeah. Sometimes I gurgle... loud.

Mostly only when I eat or drink anything... but Yep - gurgling is pretty normal.

I can feel my port if I push on it, but unless you go, "hey honey feel this..." I don't think the other person will notice.

What is that all about? I don't remember reading anything about stomach gurgling! Could someone please tell me what that is all about? I am scheduled for surgery later this month. Is it painful? Or just imbarassing?

I had MAJOR gurgling for the first 3-4 days. Really loud at first, then they lessen. Not painful at all, a little uncomfortable, mostly embarassing if you care about it. My husband was more amused/concerned than anything.

I do not have a flat tummy by any means but I can easily feel my port when I touch the site. My doctor said this is because I have a "thin" abdominal wall (glad something can be called thin on me). However, as easily as it can be felt with the hand, my husband assures me that it is not noticed when we are intimate. In fact, he said that if he did not know what it was he probably wouldn't find it odd if he felt it. It is not rock hard because it kinda sinks under pressure.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
