    huge lump under my port scar?

    I went back to the doctors office today and they decided to drain it. I was super amazed that after about 10 pokes they hit the mothership of the seroma and removed 97cc from it....that took about 15 big syringes! Im just glad to get all that out. I hope it does not come back, but it could. Ahh i wonder if that made me loose a pound, I think it did! Jennifer

    huge lump under my port scar?

    So I finally gave in and called my doc today and they wanted to see me.I came in because the lump had gotten even bigger over the days. The NP said I had a seroma and it was just fluid build up. The problem is it is very painful and uncomfortable now. She said that it may go away on its own, but if it does not she will have to drain it. She also said it could be difficult to drain because a needle could puncture the tubing of the band. AHHH that sounds scary! She said to put warm compresses on it to see if that would help so thats what I am trying. I guess this is not a major complication but it is making my belly very bloated even though im loosing weight. Well thanks for all the responses and im glad I finally know what is going on! I hope it goes away! Jennifer:omg:
  6. I had surgery 2 weeks ago and I was feeling my port scar a few days ago and i have a huge lump under it! Im wondering if my port may have moved, because at my post op appointment the RN told me it was bellow and to the left of the scar and I was bearly able to feel it then. Now the lump feels the size of a ummmmm say silver dollar but much thicker and im a bit concerned....could the port have moved? Was the nurse wrong? Could it just be a lot of scar tissue? I have no clue and I figured one of you super nice people could fill me in on what this may be. Jennifer 23 New Orleans, LA Katrinaville
