Not sure if my port flipped? Dislocated? ANYONE? HELP!



Recommended Posts

Ok..so I have a weird thing going on with me...I went and got my first fill Thursday 1/9/14..Yesterday 1/10/14 I went to work out at the gym at my college. All went good yesterday. Tonight, after having some intimate time with my boyfriend. I was cleaning up and seen a bulge coming from right where my port is. So I pushed in back down. I leaned over..BOOM there it was again. So..Im not sure if the port has come loose, or if its flipped. But something is definitely wrong, or just not right. Ok....heres where TO MUCH INFORMATION may come into effect. Can having sex,can that put to much pressure on your port and cause it to move, flip, come dislocated. It not moving freely..Just a side is popping up. HELP SOMEONE...Im freaked out. I called the Weight Loss Clinic in Overland Park KS. where I had it done. I live south of St Louis. And she didn't seem to alarmed .Just to notify on Monday the clinic where I go. But to have to drive all the way out to Kansas ( 4 1/2 hours) to have them stitch it back..AUGH!! Has this happened to anyone else...Im so curious to know...

i don't think you need to be alarmed either. the port will move around a bit even though it is anchored. but with your physical endeavors you may have moved it a bit. as long as you are not in pain, and as long as you can eat and drink you are likely okay. i can feel my port to. as we lose wt. it can become more pronounced. it didn't flip. it is anchored. with sutures.

It does look a swollen in the pic you posted. Unless you're having pain, I'd probably just take it really easy today, and call Monday morning to have it checked out.

NO real advice, except to tell you to take it easy. Have you been okayed for workouts at the gym? You are probably just swollen from your fill, workout and the other workout. Maybe just do cardiac today, instead of other type workout! Best wishes, Karen..aka.kll724

Guess it could have come lose on one side, tho if it did, prolly was going to even without your activities. If it is still moving Monday I would get it looked at even if just to give yourself peace of mind. My port doesn't move at all. Does yours move when you are lying down?

It now does move when Im laying down..If I compress my stomach muscles to get up outta my recliner..it POPs up..but it never had before. Before I had my fill..it was fine Then even fine after my fill. But after our lil romp in the bedroom..POP.there it goes. Im just scared.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
