Ok, so I am going to see my doc tomorrow but until then I will count on you all! On Thursday doc removed my staples and everything was ine except my 2 larger incisions hurt a little. The bigger one has started to hurt more and now it's pretty sore and I noticed it getting hard this weekend but I thought the hard spot was the actual port but now it seems a little bigger. It feels like a hard lump about the size of a nickel and it's growing and it's sore, especially when I', sitting. I do not see any puss or redness and there is no phyiscal heat, nor do I have a high temperature. It's just sore and uncomfortable and when I had a belly button ring when I was 16 my body rejected it and tried to push it out so I am so scared something is going to happen to my port. Is it normal to have scar tissue buildup or something that would make the port sore and hard. It's only been 9 days since surgery - does anyone have ideas/ suggestions/ anything? I'm scared!

I have this too. It is not where my port is ,but its the biggest incision and it oozes pus not a lot but some. Its red too all around it. It's actually getting smaller and starting to close. I am on a cruise right now so I cannot get to my Dr., but mine has been doing that for awhile now. I had my surgery on 9/15/05. Im glad to hear your Dr. say that it is ok. I havent had a temperature or any other problems. I don't know how long it will last since Im still having mine ! I got to the Dr. on 10/19 when I get back so hopefully will be ok until then.

Ok, well I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one. I'm glad you don't have a temperature or other problems with the incision. Since there's only 1 day difference in our surgery dates, we'll have to go through this together. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery on your incision!

OK, now the hardnesss around my port is the size of a friggin' golf ball! It's like a huge hard mass in my belly and it hurts!!! I am going to the doc at 1 pm so I will update when I get back!

Ok, I saw the doc and he said he had to poke a hole w/ his finger to get the port in place and the hole is now filling up with fluid and it will just be swollen and sore for a few weeks but not to worry. It sucks though b/c it hurts like a B*TCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang Laura!! So sorry to hear about this, but glad that the doctor doesn't seemed concerned ~ hopefully he gave you some more giggle pills though!! Hope it feels better soon!
