Lump and pain at old port site?



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I had a sleeve revision 9 mths ago, after 3 1/2 yrs with a lapband (slipped). Today as I was throwing towels in the washer, I felt a "snap" pain on my left side, right where my port was. Felt like a rubber band snapped, burning pretty badly. I went into the bathroom to look and not only is it more puckered than usual but there's a solid "mass" there, about the size of an almond. Hurts when I sit or stand. While I've felt scar tissue around the site since getting my revision, this is the first time I've felt something that feels like a rock inside there and it actually hurts. Burns.

Could I have a hernia? It's easy to suggest I see my dr but unfortunately I moved about 800 miles away about 4 mths ago and now I see a primary care at the VA clinic (he's probly never heard of, let alone see a port).

Just wondering if anyone else had any problems with their port site??

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
