I'm soo worried about how my port area should look or feel....

I actually had quite a bit of bruising around the area of where my port was placed, but it went away rather quickly. What are you worried about? Is there something specific? Maybe call your surgeons office and discuss your concerns with them.

    My lapband surgery didn't have any staples from it, only small incision that was basically super glued closed. I did have surgery years ago that required a lot of staples to close. They itched like crazy! They also were kinda raised up some. That was many years ago.

    My port area wasn't stapled either. If you're uncomfortable definitely get in touch with your surgeon to make sure all is okay.
