Sharp Pains- HELP!



Recommended Posts

I'm a little concerned and hopefully someone out there may have had a similar situation they can share...

Over the last 2 weeks I have totally upped my game by going to the gym 4 times a week and working it HARD. I also added weight training to my regimen.

Beginning last week, I started noticing a sharp pain at the port. It comes and goes. I dont have to even be doing anything. It twinges and then fades.

Should I be worried or could it be related to the excercise? :mad:

Thanks for your input!

I started having pains just above my port and went in to the doctor. I have moved since getting my band, so it was just my regular provider. They did a CT scan and my tube has come detached from the port and is poking me. May be worth asking about.

Oh my! A detached tube?? :closedeyes: I've never heard anyone talk about that here. Did they repair it?

Since I posted, I have gone for a fill and my surgeon said if he was able to find the port ok, there was nothing to worry about. He did and said the pains might becoming from ripping scar tissue where my port is stitched to the muscle...

I'm glad you know that your port is okay...but OUCH, that sounds painful. Did he say if that was dangerous or if it could lead to your port flipping?

I just found out and was looking for similar cases here and yours was the closest. I am not sure why it happened but I think I am going to have it removed. This pain is something like I have never felt before and never want again. We will discuss other options when I get in to talk to the surgeon.

YIKES! I'm so sorry... Good luck to you!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
