Moving the port question..



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone ! I posted a couple of days ago about some port issues I am having.I saw my surgeon today and he had no answer for the redness to the skin on the outside (on top of my port). He did say that my port might be rubbing against muscle/muscle tissue and he says why it was sticking out a couple of days ago was possibly because it flipped. He will be doing a surgery to just move the port to another location. He didnt run any tests on me which I was surprised by. He told me the other stomach issues I am having is unrelated to the port/band.

Anyone else have this surgery? What can I expect ?

Thank you !

I'm having to get mine moved as well from cord wrapping around my diaphragm and its triggering left shoulder pain that feels like the gas pain from original surgery. I'm 2 yrs post op.

      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! 😞
