Hello, my name is Allen. I have the same problem I went to the doctor today for my first fill and he looked at my port site and he said that some times it takes sme people longer to heal. my surgery was 8-17-09 and I still have a lump there and I'm still tender around my port.

This morning I got my first fill and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, thanks everyone for your help. :thumbup:

Good luck, I had my surgery aug.17,2009 about amonth and ahalf ago and its been great. I've lost 35 pounds and I started at 300lbs. It's amazing how much better you feel when you start losing weight. My wife is a big help to keep me on track and it's good to have someone to help. I'm 36 years old and I just felt bad all the time so I went to the doctor. My ins. wouldn't cover any of it so I had to be self pay it's been hard but worth it. Carecredit.com is a credit card for doctors and hospitals so if you need some help thats a good way to go. Good luck
