Your stomach muscles have been cut open and, at 2 weeks post-op, are only just healing. You probably need to take it pretty gently for the next couple of weeks. I found that while I felt mostly healed within a couple of weeks, there was a residual soreness whenever I did anything that pulled those muscles. Give it time and all will be well in a few more weeks, meantime, softly softly :wink_smile:

During orgasm you will have muscle contractions in the stomach. Your muscles have been cut and sutured. They are going to be sore for probably a good six weeks. Just take it easy. That port site will take longer than you think.

Yes, especially if you're in a position that pulls/pushes the muscles that the port is actually stitched to. My port was moved to my chest, and I am 13 months since then.. I still get pain (like I am pulling my port stitched) if my legs are up too high and my body is squishing my chest.
