Hi All,

I was banded on Sept 21st so am two weeks and 2 days out. I have two questions about the port.....I have had today for the second time aprox 5 days of feeling really great having no pain at the port site then waking up and feeling really sore again after little to no change in activity. Did this happen to anyone else?

Also, when I'm feeling around on my stomach there are two seperate loc aprox 2-3 inches apart that have a tough non natural feeling under the skin. I'm assuming one is my port but can't figure out what the second bump is unless it was the grid my port is supposed to be attached to and my port has broke free from it. I have my first follow up this week so I'll know soon.

Thanks in advance for any responses. I love this site!

Hi sun,

I do get some port pain periodically even to this day. I’m a little over a year and a half out even. As far a two different masses under your belly, well yes likely one is your port. I’m not sure about the other, as I only have one myself and is in fact my port.

Definitely bring these up with your doc when you see him soon. Hope all is well, and let us know how you’re doing!
