Hi !

I am hoping to get some insight. I had my surgery back in 2008 and for the past month,my port has been sore,especially in the evening. I didn't think much of it because it's been sore off and on before but now this past week,my skin gets red literally around the port area. The redness comes and goes. I've also noticed that I'm really bloated and have had bad stomach issues (for weeks now) . Last night I noticed that my port was sticking out more than usual. I'm getting no help from my doctor other than they set up an appt for me on Friday. I thought maybe the stomach issues were a seperate issue but now I'm not sure . The issues i've had are diarreah and changes in the stool color (sorry if that's TMI). I've also had little appetite.

Anyone else experiance something similar or know anyone who has ? Thanks for any info you can give me !

My dr suspected my friend had an erosion and did an endoscopy to find out (she did not have an erosion)

My doctor is frustrating me to say the least. Glad she didnt have an erosion.
