Hi thank you everyone for the feedback. I did get to speak with the surgeon and he said it wasn't urgent enough to go to the ER. He said there could be some internal bleeding that my body will absorb. I have a post op apt in two weeks he said if there needed to be a repair he can do it then. He didnt believe the port had twisted or dislocated from his attachment site. I'm just taking it very easy and trying to stick with the liquids as much as possible. Seems like too much to drink in one day now that i have to take down 3 shakes and two alternates. The swellingmay have eased up a little. Im sure it will take a couple of weeks to heal properly. If anyone out there has had the bulging last a long time please let me know what your doc explained it as being. Until then thanks again friends!

Hello all. I'm brand spanking new on this forum. I am post op 1 day. I just had my surgery on 12/30/11. I did quite a bit of walking on 12/31 and all of the sudden my port site looks like a baby butt bulge or bump. It's that large. I'm a bit worried because it does bother me mainly from the amount of protrusion on my left side. Literally looks like i'm pregnant with the baby's butt sticking out of my left side just above my belly button. I think I may have shifted something as I was walking. The surgeon did say he put 2 stitches in a hernia during the lap band surgery but this is all the way down on my left where i can feel the port site. It's all red about the size of a baseball and hurts if you bump it. Because of the holidays I can not follow up until Tuesday. Just want to know specifically if anyone had this right after surgery and what you did to alleaviate it or did you have to have it adjusted back to where it was?
