I have a bulge on my side also, but I had a hematoma near the port site that has apparently caused the bulge. About 1 1/2 weeks after surgery the blood started oozing out of two of my incisions. The doctor tried twice to aspirate it, but the blood was still too thick and clot like. I oozed for another 1 1/2 weeks and just stopped on Saturday. The doctor told me the hematoma would eventually be absorbed by my body. The bulge is still there, but seems to slowly be getting smaller. He said it may take a few weeks. Don't know if this is anything like what you are experiencing. I haven't found anyone yet who has had the same experience. It is just a thought.

I was banded 9-28-07. Had a complication as I have a hematome near the port site. It has been very uncomfortable and I have to wait for my body to absorb it, but I'm doing better every day and losing, so I'm good. Lisa :eek:
