Hello all,

I am almost 7 weeks post-op (surgery 8/20/09) and 30lbs are gone forever!!! :tongue:

Having issues. My first fill 9/30 and it was a nightmare. The woman doing my fill hurt me while pushing on my belly looking for my port. The she filled 3cc and could not swallow then almost passed out!!! It was crazy. Then we stuck me a 2nd time and she removed 1cc. Felt ok but still having problems eating during some meals.

My biggest problem is that at 7weeks post op my port incision area still hurts. And it feels really thick like I have a bump right under the skin. And I still cannot sleep on that side without it feeling like my insides are sliding over.

After UNSUCCESSFULLY trying to get in touch with my surgeon, I have to go see him tomorrow and get it checked out. I am really frustrated. What else can go wrong? I am having really good results so far but I hurt the majority of the time..:thumbup:

Anyone help... if you have been through similar...

Thanks

I had my surgery back in June, and my port still feels that way. My surgeon told me that it happens to some people that it is always uncomfortable and that it would be something I would have to learn to 'live with'. If you get some better advice, please let me know!

Hello, my name is Allen. I have the same problem I went to the doctor today for my first fill and he looked at my port site and he said that some times it takes sme people longer to heal. my surgery was 8-17-09 and I still have a lump there and I'm still tender around my port.

How is your port now? I know it takes 6-8 weeks to heal completely. Are you ok?
