sounds like a hematoma. A heating pad helps it to go down, but there is not nothing they usually do for it. Just have to go away on its own.

I have had that lump, and it might be a hemotoma. thought mine was my port too, but nurse said it was not. The port is deep under muscle. I had my surgery 8-5-13and it is still there. I have not had a fill yet because of it being tender. I am scheduled for my first fill next Wednesday 10-23. I hope I can get it.

When he had the needle in me, he was moving it all around, besides pushing. I am going to ask about numbing. I dad asked the nurse when we were doing preop, and she told me he don't numb. She said he is good, and he does it quick. IDK.

I think I will do that....my area under my port incision is blue, so tender. I think it's from where the dr. Pushed and squeezed trying to find my port. I don't want to go through that again.......

No, he does not numb! He stuck me twice and that needle is 5 inches long. My port site is so sore. My port is under the muscle, so it's in pretty deep. I just have to be careful with my calories.

I went for my first fill yesterday, had my surgery August 5, but he put the needle in twice ( painful) and he decided I was still too sore? Made my appointment to come back November for first fill. I have nothing in band, and I am staying hungry! I don't want to gain the 24 pounds I have lost back...........

It sounds like we are on the same path with our surgeries. I was banded on the 5th with hiatal hernia repair. Would like to be able to chat with you on our progress. I could use a buddy.

I was banded yesterday, and Los had the hernia repaired. I am sore.

Hello, I am so sore. I had a hiaental hernia repaired too. I can't drink much at all. You?

I am having my surgery at 1:30 tomorrow, so I am right behind you. See you on the other side!

Please don't stress yourself out. My husband doesn't understand either, and he has never been over weight! My surgery is Monday the 5th of August! I am on the downside of the preop diet, just have 3 more days. You can do this. Stay focused!
