Hi there...

Where they have stitched the port onto your abdominal wall takes a while to heal. Also as you lose weight, the change of shape can cause little shifts that feel a bit uncomfortable.

I could not sleep on my belly for the first six weeks. It will get better.

Wear looser clothes for a bit, the harshness of denim is probably compounding the issue.

Good luck with your journey xx

Why on earth they place ports in that area i do not know, the rubbing can cause infection while healing wear slack tracky bottoms till fully healed then you can go back to regular jeans trousers ect, port area hurts the longest as its stitched in and the body needs to get used to this foriegn object just under the skin, this is normal please dont worry x
