Hi All,

I am 3 months post op.

I noticed my port can sometimes be tender . It doesn't hurt though. Has anyone else experianced this ?

I have also noticed that my port has moved?? My Husband thinks it's because i'm losing weight ??

Saturday I'll be 10 weeks post-op and a few weeks ago I noticed discomfort with my port area, not really pain. At this point I've come to the same conclusion that your husband has. I found that if I slouched in chair at all, it would become tender, not as much padding to cushion it? I have since been watching my posture (sitting up straight) and the discomfort has gone away! Scientific? Heck no, just my retarded opinion, LOL

tgnd, yes -- its very normal. I'm over a year out and I find it still gets a bit tender at times.

My doctor did tell me that my port did move as well, and he told me it WAS from weight loss.

HTH

I just love reading everyones posts, I always learn so much from them. I am 3 months postop and freaked out the other day because I could not really feel my port. So what did I do? What I always do, I look on this site for answers :cursing:. Turns out my port is now above my scar line, where as before it was right under it. I read one post that said the loss of weight makes the skin sag....seeing some of that now (ARGGG)...and sure enough I can feel my port about an inch and a half above my scar line.

I could see why losing weight would shift things around!

The port doesn't really move;it is attached to your abdominal wall. It's the soft tissue, fat and skin that move. When I lie down, my port is just underneath my scar. Standing, it's above it. This freaked me out at first, but I figured that was what was happening, and my dr confirmed it. :cursing:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
