but I'm getting ready to start exercising but I can't get this off my mind.

I just have an issue(you can laugh a little bit) that if I run that my port and band will be bouncing all around and it can't be a good thing.

If you're done laughing, please talk to me.

Thanks

you will be fine no matter what you do it will not move they set it in place so you do alot of normal things

Yea I am sure the new flesh has grown over and it will not move what so ever!!! Good luck and congrats on taking that step to exercise!!!

My surgeon says he stitches the port to something so it cant move or turn over.

You'll be fine, I run at least 3x a week and no issues yet. The only thing my doc recommends against is ab work before 3 month post-op.

Alright my friend, please know that your band and port is not going to move so have fun with your exercises. Congrats on your weight loss.

Hope everything is going well.

my port and band do not move.. but the tube connecting them can... not enough to hurt anything but i noticed when rocking my daughter it was moving with every rock and it was freaking me out lol. Dr. says not to worry about it but it bugs me to have it moving around... only noticed while rocking so far thankfully

I am curious what that feels like - I have never felt the band or the tube but can feel the port right under my skin - all the edges of it like a round disc - is not hidden at all - I do not have a lot of abdominal fat so there was nothing to hide it in - that is the only part of the surgery that I am not happy with.

yeah i can feel my port too. It sort of freaks me out to think about it. I am not sure why but when i think about it or feel it i don't like it at all seems foreign. part of me wants to scream get it out lol. SO i try not to think of it. It is helping me alot. It is hard to describe its almost like what you would imagine a baloon that is half water and half air feels like. If you held it in your hand and sloshed it around the way the water felt when it hit your hand that is what it was like. happens every time i rock her. very wierd. not necesarily unplesant just wierd.

i have been told that i have alot of large nerves and it makes me very sensitive to things.. i can feel the band all the time too.. or where it is anyway. especially if i take a big drink of something cold you can feel it hit your stomach like twice once in the pouch and once after it goes though.. also if it is something hard like a pill, it forces its way though sometimes if i take it to early in the day and i can feel where it goes through, painful that one is.
