2 weeks post op banded 6-11 and my port are still looks a little swollen. I can see a lump if I stand straight or sit ... I can feel it too ... How long does it take for that to go down..... Sometimes feel a pulling sensation too.. Dr took out all my staples except 2 on port insision taking those out Thursday ....

It took almost 6 weeks before my port did not bother me when bending over, twisting, etc. I am almost 4 months post surgery and I can still see the lump where my port is located.

I can't see mine at all, just a small incision.. never had staples at all. wonder why each surgeon does things so differently..? the only way I feel my port is if I push on it and tighten up my stomach...
