I was banded on November 4th and had a hematoma about 1 month out. It never really healed but got a lot better. About 4 weeks ago I was out cleaning the garage and noticed in the after noon the port area was sensitive and swollen. 2 weeks ago It started draining with bodily fluids and a little bit of blood. The doc said keep it clean and let it drain. It has been draining till about 3 days ago and was all good. Today after changing out the brakes on my car the scar filled up again and then later on opened up again and drained. I just wonder if anyone has had this issue and what was your outcome. There is no infection at this time. It's more irretating then anything since I have to clean and bandage at least twice a day, Other then that I feel great.

It doesn't sound normal to me. If there were no infection there would be nothing draining and it wouldn't even be open to drain. If it were me I would go have the surgeon look at it. Do they have you taking antibiotics?

Yeah it doesnt sound right....Go to your Doc ASAP dont take no for an answer you dont want your port to get infected and get to your band....

That doesn't sound right. I'd get yourself to the doctor pronto. I had a c-section with my youngest son and was much heavier than I am now and it cut right through the fattest part of the abdomen. They put a drain in because they wanted to make sure it healed from the inside out but that drain was still gone and I was healed within 2 *weeks*.
