I had my infected port removed 10 days ago. The plan is 1 to 2 moths IV antibiotics and then a new port.

My blood count is great. No infections showing. However I am having cramping pains in left side ( stomach?)

I have read other people speaking of this. How long does this last?

I am seeing my surgeon Friday , but some times people who lived through it, know more

I had my band 12 years ..very successful and I am worried.

I don't think it is gas from the surgery because it is localized to my stomach .

Thanks!

Can't wait to get my port back..life is so strange without it..

Hope to hear that your doing well after seeing the.. please Dr. Keep us posted

I had my port removed because of infection. Immediately after I started having pain in my abdomin, particularly on the left side. Long story short when I had port replaced I was also having an exploratory due to the pain. The nurse said to me I kno what's wrong!! The tube came uncoiled and is poking you!! He was right!! After it was reconnected I had no further pain!
