Hello!

Hi there! This is my first time posting over here. I just had my surgery on the 25th and for the most part am feeling pretty good. I have some pain in my larger port site but mainly because I have been doing too much and I have a cough that makes me feel like I am ripping it open.

Welcome!!! Congrats on your surgery!!! Please resist the temptation to over-do it - I know, easier said than done since it looks like you have 2 little ones who depend on you but you'll be no good to them if you're out of commission altogether!!  Good luck!!! Cece

Congrats on the surgery. I know what you mean the port sight can be really annoying in the beginning . I am seven weeks post -op . Please try to resist over doing it. I felt like I over did it at about 2wks out. I also had abad cough and thought that I did somthinfrom coughing. just take your cough meds and try to rest. Time heals it all. Keep us posted on your progress Karen

Welcome to OH and congrats on becoming a loser!  I hate this time of year only b/c I have a cough, too!  Dog gone allergies!  Hopefully yours will go away soon!  Congrats on the wgt loss so far!

Congratulations on having your surgery.  Yes, try not to overdo...it took me at least 8 weeks to get to the point where the pain and exhaustion subsided.  If you have any questions--just ask--we are here for ya! Rosemary

Yikes. I never even thought about how a persistent cough would feel like. Hope that it goes away soon. Maybe the PCP can prescribe something. You are doing wonderfully with your weight loss. CONGRATS. Please refrain from going too far of overdoing it. Take it easy with lifting and such. You'll have all the time in the world to do that stuff. Take Care.

Congrats on your weight loss!  I agree with the others, try to take it easy as much as you can.  I hope the cough gets better soon!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I did end up going in to see my dr today because I was worried the site might be infected. Thankfully its not, just irratated. As for not over doing , I am a single mom and the boys are 3 and 6. They try but trully arent much help!
