I had surgery on June 5th so I am four weeks post op. My port is still sore to the touch and sometimes when I bend over. It is not so sore I can not stand it, probably more tender then sore. Also it feels swollen around the area of the port. All my incisions are healed up, and they only have a tiny bit of scabbing left. Does anyone else have this? Should I be concerned?

Mine is still tender as well. I got my first fill yesterday. I'm sure the doc noticed that I flinched when he was feeling around for the port, but he wasn't concerned, so it must be normal!

You probably have a fill coming up, right? Ask your doc!

Michelle, I'm sorry your port is still sore. I know what you mean about bending over. I was trying to touch my toes in a yoga pose (I may be "morbidly obese" but I'm still very flexible) and I couldn't do it because of the pain in my port from bending at the waist. Otherwise my port site is beginning to feel mostly normal to me--except the skin directly on top of the port is still numb to the touch. Weird. You said that it feels like it's still swollen around the port--does it feel hot? you know, warmer to the touch than the rest of the skin? I would be worried about infection if it were. I agree with lbndoc that you could ask your surgeon at your first fill--or earlier if you feel like there is really something terribly wrong. Be well.

No warmness....just sore. I does not appear to be inefected. Most of the swelling is down now, but still sore. I am hoping it goes away soon, it has gotten a little better since I posted this.

I am also very flexible, I have gymnasticts to thank for that.

Glad to hear you're felling better! When is your first fill? Seems like it should be coming up pretty soon. If it still hurts, I'd definitely mention it to your doctor. Good luck!
