Just curious, how long did your port area stay "swollen" looking? I was banded on 4-29 and the area where my port is still has an appearance of puffiness. No pain or reddness, just puffy and sticks out further than the other side of my stomach.

I know I am still healing, just wondering if this will ever flatten out?

Hi I'm having the same problem in my port area. No pain just swelling. Its abnormal looking and a lil scary. I keep touching it and I can feel the port just hope it hasn't flipped I go to the doc monday so I will see what he says. I was banded June 7th

I was banded 5/28/10 and just had my first fill yesterday. I am a little puffy at my port site too... especially after I exercise or at the end of the day. As it seems pretty flat and normal in the morning. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the port is attached to a muscle and we use those muscles all day. I know folks who have had lapband surgery years ago and they do not still have a puffy port area. I guess we just need to be patient and let it heal but patience is not my strongsuit. LOL
