I'm 4 days post op and my port sight is a little red and bruising. It a little stingy but not to bad. I've been up and moving around like the doctor said. Did anyone else experience this? I just don't want to have gone through all this for nothing.

You were opened up and will have redness, bruising, swelling. Keep in mind sometimes the bruising doesn't show the same day it has to work they way to the surface. You will itch as it starts to heal, you will have restriction even if you do not have fluid in your band. You probably still have some residual gas pains, swollen tummy etc.

You are in the healing process and will be for awhile! Heal, get your nutrition figure out food choices that you will be wanting for when you start to eat reg foods.

You have only just begun... hang in there

Thank you so much I needed that! I was freaking out my husband said I was fine. He said it was normal but I wanted my bandster family who has went through this to confirm. Thank you again.

Not to worry...mine went from a bright purple to red and yellow with black brushing. My dr. said that it will go through a bunch of color changes. It is all normal but if it starts to look really red and starts getting swollen (mad), starts to have anything come out of it, gets really warm to the touch, or starts hurting really bad is when you should call the dr. But I think all of that is pretty unlikely.
