    I just started tanning this week...at 3.5 weeks postop. After day 4 of tanning the port incision has some redness around it.. may be from the lotion I used last night. Other than that, no problems. I haven't tried laying on my belly yet.. worried it might be a little uncomfortable but will eventually.
