Port area question

After having surgery did anybody feel that there port area felt weird when you walk around?? Sometimes I feel like that area on my stomach weighs so much more than the rest of my stomach! It dosen't really hurt..it just feels a little uncomfortable sometimes!! Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Does it usually take longer for the port area to start feeling normal again? (I am only a week out from surgery..and i was just wondering if that is normal), please let me know if you have experienced anything similar!

Oh yes!!!

It took about a month for me to feel better in the port area. You have swelling from the surgery and stitches in the nerves and the muscles that you use regularly.

The sensations I felt varied through the healing process. I had swelling, pain, burning, numbness, tightness and the sensation of something shifting inside me. It is all normal and will take the longest to heal.

okayyy thank you...i was starting to feel like the crazyy person or something cause no one was answering me haha!!

I still can feel my port area when I do things like exercise. Its funny because everyone that knows I have had the surgery wants to feel it and stuff, it's like an alien in my stomach.lol It did take a good month before I felt back to my normal self though, very tough recovery.
