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.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
