Just wondering if anyone else experienced this. I had my band fitted two weeks ago 28th April. Over the last few days I have noticed that the port site and all along where the tube would be coming from the port, is a bit red and feels hot to the touch. I do not feel unwell or have a temperature or discomfort or anything, in fact I feel great! Did anyone else have this, is it normal? Do you think I might have an infection?
