Chitownbander got a reaction from Heather CJJ in swelling by port
Heather, I'm two weeks post-op and my port is very swollen as well. When I lay on my back it protrudes out in a hard mass. I had my first follow up this week, and my doc said it is an underlying bruise and also since it is sutured into the muscle it will take longer to heal. He seemed to be not too concerned about it, and told me it will just take a little more time than usual for the body to heal it. Hope this helps

Chitownbander got a reaction from Mikee57 in Just banded today!
ecgreen, I am having the same issue with my port. I was banded this past Friday (almost 4 days post-op now), and whenever I stand up I get a sharp pulling/burning feeling just below my port incision. I have no pain other than this so it is a bit unnerving. I'm giving it another day or two, as it does seem to be lessening a bit, but then I'm calling the doc since my appointment is not until a week from tomorrow. I'm certainly not happy that someone else is having this same pain, but relieved that I'm not alone, if that makes sense Please let us know how it goes.
