ORGASM, why is my PORT area givin me a PROBLEM?



Recommended Posts

I'm really embarrassed to talk about this stuff, but I need to know if anyone is feeling this. As I begin to climax, the Muscles in my port area start contracting, and totally ruins everything!!! It's like kids banging at your door in the heat of the moment!!! Who the heck wants to be reminded about their band during this time???? It's been 5.5 mo, since surgery....How long will this last???? Is this forever?? Now it's taking me forever to reach climax because of this! :tt2:

Seriously, I would talk to the doctor. They may consider moving your port. I mean, this is not something you would want to happen for the rest of your life!

I have not heard of this before. I can't say I know of anyone else who has ever mentioned this. Getting your port moved sounds like a good idea.

Oh, it makes sense to me, its an anticipation thing.I was a bit like this each time I was pregnant, an intense orgasm could bring on quite painful cramps and the anticipation of it hurting really ruined it.

Its probably something that will settle with time, the same as how your port can hurt if you move suddenly or do a lot of exercise early on but a year or two down the track you're never aware of it.

Before rushing to have the port moved, have you tried other positions? Depending on the position I am in, the muscles around my port are more affected, its like getting a cramp in your leg right at that moment of release. Just a suggestion

my port never bothered me at all until recently. It feels like something is pulling when I do certain activities, not necessarily sex though.

Somebody told me it's scar tissue.

On some occasions I have more than one orgasm. I know.... lucky me. Losing all this blubber has sure made a difference!!!! But..... on those occasions, my port area is sore for several days afterwards. If I just go once, I'm fine. It's the "extra activity" that makes it so sore. If I go overboard on ab work at the gym I have the same problem. That stomach muscle it's attached to is hyper sensitive. Suggestions? A heating pad? Ice pack? massage?

Aubrie, personally I'd say a massage, but maybe that would only lead to more discomfort, lol.

I get banded Nov. 18th and this thread is not good news, but I'm glad we are talking about it...In the past, I read someone posting about the port moving as time goes by and weight is lost. Many people posted how their port was in one place after surgery and then as time went by and they lost weight their port moved, sometimes further down, etc. So, maybe, as you keep losing weight the port will move in such a way that will cause less distraction when you're getting busy and on your way to singing a solo? Besf of luck!

Omg, I literally LOL'd at that! siging a solo!

I've only been banded a week and haven't even thought of having sex yet, so I am no help, but I hope when I finally do give up the nookie, I don't have port pain! Hope you feel better.

I get this from time to time and it can be painful but it is very very shortlived.

I asked my doctor about it and he said its because I'm still healing. He said it can take up to a year for the port area to completely heal up.

If its really bad pain, that lasts for a prolonged time after stopping then please speak with your doctor.

I'm dealing with it because its not too bad and stops after I take a breather. I'll take the brief pang in exchange for the awesome sex me and DH are having now!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
