My Port Area

By jkevhack

· 592 views

I will be 3 weeks post op on Thursday. All of my incisions are great except the one where the port is. Its still sore and seems have a knot about the size of a quarter under the skin, Is that the port or maybe its still swollen. The pain is mild but noticable. Just had my 2 week post op and don't go back until Dec 19 for my first fill. I know everyone is different and its in no way infected. Just curious :)

    Normal, if I remember correctly it was months before i was able to Lay on my banded side and sleep. It will be tender for a while but once you heel you will not notice until you get thin than the little bogger sticks out.

    It is normal. It is the largest incision and the one where most of the cutting, etc. was done and stitching the port, etc. Mine hurt for about a month.
