Now that I have lost 50 lbs, I went tubing over the July 4th holiday. I took one nasty spill which hurt badly. Since then, my left (port) side has hurt badly. Two nights ago I just happened to rub my belly since it hurt and found a very hard spot. It was quite tender to touch. Here's my question: Could it be my port? If so, SOMETHING HAS MOVED! My port used to be below my scar and now, if this is my port, it is above my scar. I called my doc today and can't be seen until the 22nd. My friend had the thought that since I have lost the weight, my skin may be sagging (not noticably) and that my port is in the same spot, but my scar has moved and everything is just sore from my spill. I know I sound like an idiot, but any ideas?
