Swollen stomach by port and very sore

Hi all,

I'm in the uk, I underwent my lap band opp just over 4 weeks ago I have a full booked for Wednesday, the problem is the last 72 hours my stomach has swollen in the area where my port is, quite a raised lump and is quite sore to touch and a constant ache

Any ideas ?

    It took quite a bit of time for the swelling to go down around my port. In fact, I still have a bruise around the site, and I had my surgery at the end of June. Have you visited your doctor for a post-op yet?
