Newly banded, port bulging out

I was banded 10 days ago. Immediately following surgery, my port incision was a little puckered. Now it is actually bulging out and I can feel the port quite clearly under the skin. Has anyone else experienced this? Just want to get some more information before I call my doctor.

    My port sticks out too and is sore off and on. I was also banded by Dr Ortiz (great Dr.). Have you called him? You will be seeing him soon so you'll find out whats going on.

    good luck
