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?

It is your port....Don't worry my doc says every time I go in to get a fill that my port will move as I loose weight. Everything moves as we shrink.... This is a good thing not bad. it is sore only cause it is hard and sewed into you muscle wall, if you hit it hard enough it will bruise, and it will hurt.

I think you will be fine, let your bruise heal and put some ice on it.

Thanks for the reminder to be careful.....

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
