I'm 3 weeks post op. Tonight I noticed the upper right side of my stomach appears visually swollen. I did a lot of bending today but haven't lifted anything over what dr said I can ( heavier than a gallon of water). Has this happened to anyone else?

Could that be where your port is? If so, it will swell up & down for weeks. I'm 10 wks out and still get some bulging at port site.

Sounds like the port to me as well. Can you feel the port under the bulge or is it still too sore to poke at? Port site takes a looooonnng time to heal.

I am 10 days post op and have same issue. Thanks to this site I am not worried. It's sore too.

Ok i just posted a few days ago mines was two days the same exact way bulged and a little tender to touch n yea i felt my port but guess what it went away

IM MY OWN MOTIVATION

mine was swollen (where my port is located) for about a month. my dr said this is normal. being me, i asked why that is??.....well, because he said i cut your tummy and then sewed this thing in it and well, its healing..it did go down, it was tender for about a month and now its all good, (i can see a slight bulge as i am losing more and more). like knowing i got a secret weapon to help me lose weight.

It's higher then the port like almost under my right breast. It doesn't hurt to touch just looks strange.
