So I was banded 11/25 (Wednesday) well let me just get straight to it, Thursday I went to lay down and as I was trying to roll from my right to my left side I'm halfway over and I hear/feel this "thud" I'm like holy crap, did I just flip my port? I mean I wasn't straining all that much to roll over, I certainly didn't feel like I was straining so much I would flip my port. Then this morning I was slightly wiggling around in bed trying to get a little more comfortable and I don't know how to describe it but it was like a mini "thud" but w/o the noise.
I ate some Jello and pureed broccoli Soup and things went fine, I wasn't able to eat much or very quickly, and there's no unusual or excessive pain. What I think is my port site is still sore, but not really internally, just the incision site itself, and it itches.
My mom's flipped her port before, like 14 days after she had surgery (3 years ago) and she didn't know it.
I'm just worried.
