Hi Everyone,

I've got an infection with my port. I was wondering who else has had one and what happened?

Hi Thomasleroy,

I just wanted to ask with your infection is the stuff that is coming out it is thick ish green and oozing?

My surgeon didn't really have me wait.. He got me into hospital that same day and did test about 2 days later. Then theatre on day 4.

Sorry for the long time to reply...been busy. The stuff coming out of my infection was yellowish and sometimes just bloody. I had my port removed yesterday and though I am a little sore its not too bad. I have an open wound in my stomack now as well, which they are packing, to get it to close from the bottom to the top. Once its all healed up I get to go back as well and get a new port put in. Been a rough couple months, but just a slip on my journey.

The good news is....no erosion in my stomach, I still have my band they just removed the port. And at my last weigh in I somehow managed to lose 9 lbs! Down 87lbs down, I will take whatever weigh loss I can get, being such a big guy I have a long way to go. But I WILL get there.
