hi, i am 11 months post op, and although my scars healed well after surgery, 2 months ago i got a boil like lump over my port scar. Then it started to puss, after swabbing it came back as mrsa positive, how gutted was i. After 2 lots of antibiotics it has not disapeared and at my wits end. It is now a deep hole of 8mm radius and 12mm deep. Because my boobs rest on this also it is ver very painful, i am on strong pain killers but still in pain. Has anyone else been through this? i went with the hospital group and was wondering what the cost of port removal would be, as i think this is what my next option would be, or is it, i really don;t know what to expect. please anyone can you help. thanks shirley

I am 7 months post op, and this week i have noticed my port area more prominent, at 1st i thought it was because i have lost weight and it is more noticeable. But today on my scar i have a Water blister (well looks like this) running along my scar> it is not sore or red, so thinking this is not infected. But what else could this be? has anyone else had infections a long time after surgery? Any advice please.

Hi i had another fill last week and am now upto 6cc. i have been eating veg and meat mst days and tuna etc, today i had Beans of which was total agony. I have the feeling of choking lowwer down and tears strolled from my eyes> i thought as beans are soft and moist they would be ok, has any1 else had problems with beans? what other foods are problems as i really don;t want this to happen again, this was so frightening. thanks calligas
