Former port location pain

[UsernameTaken 283]

Hi all, I was revised 2 weeks ago to bypass and my biggest incision is where the port was. There was a lot of scar tissue so they really had to dig around to get the port out so I was told that this area will be more sore and pulling/burning which is normal.

However I am not sure if the rest of my belly swelling is going down or what but that location seems to be bigger, sticking out more and it's hard underneath. The incision have healed very well but I am concerned about the bulging part of it. I will call the dr on Tuesday and ask since its holiday now, but has anyone else had this?

I didn't have a port, so I have no way of knowing. It took almost 6 months before my incisions began to disappear. I really hated the blood thinner shots I had to give myself after surgery. It made me bruise very easily.

I hated the blood thinners as well.

All my incisions are doing ok, it's the under incision muscles etc... That's the only thing that's really bothering not me. They gave me lidocaine Patches but don't think they do much.

Mine took a full 5 weeks to go away. Like you said they really has to dig around to get that port out. I also had a nice bulge that long as well.
