7 days post op and my port site seems really swollen?



Recommended Posts

Anyone has almost a protruding port site? I hope the port is not messed up. I had a lot of violent vomiting for about 3 days post op. Banded on 2/28

I was also banded on 2/28. My port site is still a bit swollen and sore, but nothing too extreme. My surgeon said that was the incision he would be most concerned about if there was an issue. One of my upper incisions has been very swollen and puffy from day one. It is healing well and not infected, just puffy. You might want to give the doctor a call just to be on the safe side.

I'm with ya. I can feel my port right under my incision. That is not where it is supposed to be located. I also did a lot of violent vomiting several days after surgery. I go back to the surgeon next week and I'm sure he'll tell me if something is wrong. I don't think it's a major deal to get it turned right, just more pain and I'm tired of this port pain. Oh well, whatever it takes..

Do you have an appt with your surgeon soon?

Yes, I go on the 11th. I am 20 pounds down since my first dr visit 3 weeks ago. 10 pounds since the surgery. I am hungry though. Tired of liquid and semi-liquid diets.

I was just feeling the same thing (banded 2/26) the port incision is much harder than the others - unfortunatly I still can't lay down without it hurting on the inside. I'm getting sick of my recliner.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
