I had my surgery on April 11, 2011. On April 21, 2011 I went to the ER. All of a sudden I was growing a softball in my abdomen, right where the Dr put my port. Well The ER thought that I had a hernia and tried to "push" my intestines back into place, needless to say that didnt work. After a CAT scan they realized that it was a hematoma. It is now May 4, 2011 and I STILL have this ginormous softball size CLOT. The Dr says that he can not do anything about it and that it should go away on its own.....very frustrating. This thing is painful and uncomfortable, and to top it off I can not even get a fill until it is gone!! Mine does not bleed, but I wonder if that is from my incision already being completely healed when this happened. Also I have now noticed that I am getting little red spots on my legs....
