First Follow Up Appointment Today, Concerned About Swelling.

I took a shower after I had my walk and notice that the area where the port incision is, is very swollen. It's not red or anything...just a large swollen area over it, about the size of a softball. It's not sore, but I feel little shocks of pain occasionally around it. I am 14 days out (today starts 15) and I didn't notice this until yesterday.

I don't know, hopefully my doc will have an answer for me.

Hmmm that doesn't sound good to me. Please keep us informed! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Any word?

It's been a while since I've posted. I still have a little lump like area over my port but its gone down a lot. My doc said its fine and I'm not struggling or in pain. So I have left it alone. I am down 31 lbs since my surgery in July so it must be working fine.
