Re: Help! Horrible pain at port. Doc no help!

Yes, I have experienced that pain and I ended up having a port that would bonk against my rib area and cause pain that got worse and worse. I would call your surgeon, be very adament that you need to be seen, they need to determine what is going and then fix it!

I ended up having a port revision with a low profile port that was smaller and thinner. My surgeon was very responsive to my needs.

Good luck to you and do not take no for an answer!!!

I am aware that I am a slow loser, comments in regards to my slow weight loss are not welcome, I have done nothing wrong, there is nothing wrong with me, we are individuals and lose weight differently.
