I have recently had surgery again for port displacement. This time, I have developed a seroma. It feels like the port is displaced again-my doctor will not be back in the office until next week-I know this is not an acute problem. Has anyone else experienced this?

HI Tish, I have PCOS and was banded in Feb 2008. I have lost about 55 pounds and many more inches. It has been the best thing I have ever done. I still have alot more to lose. I am off the metformin but now how developed a fibroid tumor in my uterus more than likely related to my ovaries trying to work again and not ovulating. THe negative to this is that it is a slow process. There is no easy fix with those that have PCOS. Our metabolism is slow due to a lack of an enzyme to metabolize insulin. I don't eat alot but still not loosing. I have also had the port become displaced twice and scheduled for surgery on Friday. It is not a big deal but still frustrating. Follow your surgeon's advice and you will do fine. Hope this is helpful.:redface:
