Trouble with my port

Hi Guys,

I have been banded for just over two months and until now have had no problems and steady weight loss. I had my first fill two weeks sgo. For the past week my port has felt weird. It feels more inflamed and sticking out. When i put my hand on my port and move it around it moves and makes this weird little sound, like a groan, especially when I pull it upwards (does that even make sense?) It wasnt doing this before. Ive also been getting intense gas pains towards the end of the day and stomach aches during the day. Things that may have caused this is I had a diet coke the other day for the first time and Ive pb'd twice. The first time was a full on throw up, the second was just a normal pb. Ive also put on 2 kilos in the last week. Ive also had too much wine twice.

Can anyone help? Im worried my port has moved.

ps: I should also mention I currently have my period, it was 12 days late and very heavy - could this have anything to do with it?
