Had a fall at 5 weeks

Hey everyone

*not complaining for once - everything feels so good with the band and just started my first stall but not the issue today*

I had a fall where I landed on my side and I am wanting to know if this would be of any risk to the band slipping / port flipping etc at 5 weeks or would it be sturdy in place? I feel fine (was hungry after recovering lol) but when I read where ports flip etc idk the cause. Office is closed and will be calling Monday but if anyone has any advice greatly appreciated

Just woke up slightly sore on the hip where the landing (good bruise) was and shoulder where the second landing was (falling up then down stairs) but re band port stomach etc I feel fine no pain or any discomfort. Not sure if there would be pain there if something went wrong. Monday definitely calling up to discuss but was panicked yesterday given 5 weeks out :)

You’re gonna be fine! They sew the port into your muscle under the fat
