Recommended Posts

Since y surgery94/29/05) i have had on again off again port pain. my doc said it was the stitches-they sometimes irritate the nerves around theport and that if it doesnt go away he will have to go in again and take out the stitches. i really cant afford to be out of work again and have more curious minds.has anyone had this kind of pain for a few months after surgery?

Let me know if anyone out there has experienced this,and what they have done about it--thanks!=-)

I have been banded for 15 months and still experience on again off again port pain, all I can say is that my port is in tact, and working well. It could also be some scar tissue build up, this is what my Dr. told me. If your port has not flipped and is easily accessible when going for fills, try not to worry if the pain is not unbearable.

I was banded on the 4th April this year and mine still gets sore all the time...especially after housework, bending or other things. My Dr said it was normal and all is ok.

Heather, I also had a couple of months with the same type of pain, especially when bending/lifting.... It did go away.. But it was certainly painful.. Now unless I physically touch the port I don't even know it's there.

Wow Heather you have lost 40 pounds in 2 and 1/2 months that is fantastic. Keep up the good work and you will be at your goal weight in no time. By the way my port usually hurts when I eat to much!

Mine gets quite sore after I go to the gym (err, which I havent done lately, but will soon lol).

Especially after doing something like Water aerobics where you don't realize you're actually working those muscles.

Glad to hear others have this too. I was on the sofa and bent over to pick up something off the floor and had port pain that took my breath away. Sat back taking deep breaths for almost 15 minutes. Was then tender on that side when going to bed. Bent over today to get something and it happened again. Dr. said the port may have pinched my muscle and to take Tylenol and let him know if doesn't go away. Do others have it this bad when bending over? After today I am having the kids pick up everything for me!

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
