Could possibly be infected. That can happen to any incision/cut/wound, etc. Call your doctor ASAP.

Call your doctor!Call your doctor!Call your doctor!

I cannot stress this enough. You do not want to risk an infection and it is better to be safe than sorry. MRSA is so prevelent these days and that is only one type of infection to worry about. They are serious and something to not be messed around with.

Trust me, call your doctor.

Get better soon!

I am 11 days post op also and my port incision is still red and the one that is most sore. However, it does not hurt. Mine has bled a little within the last two days so I re-bandaged it. I would definitely call the doctor if it hurts. Better to be safe than sorry.

If it's infected it could be red, hot, puffy, painful and might have pus.

Pink and itchy usually means healing.

i would call or either go to the e.r. when did u take your first shower, and or have u taken a bath at all yet? If you have taken a bath this could have caused the infection if there is one, or if u took a shower to soon. I was told i had to wait at least 3-4 freekin days and that was prob. one of the reasons i felt so bad... but that still didn't keep me from washing and wiping down.... the soaps could have infected your wound.... plz. get immediate attention so u can find out what exactly what is going on..

See your doctor as soon as possible. Any infection at this point could be serious since you have had major surgery. Please let us know what the doctor says.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
