    Infection At Port Site

    I was banded on August 31 and I had the exact same problem. About 3 days post op I noticed my port site incision was red around the steristrip and hot to the touch. I did not have any fever or feel bad, I just did not like the looks of it. I immediately called my surgeons office and had him paged bc it was Labor Day. He called me back and called me a prescription of liquid cephalexin. I was on this for 7 days four times a day. My infection cleared up and in just a few short days but i have finished taken all the medication. Hope all goes well.
  2. I am 4 days post op and my port incision is still a little sore, red around the area and warm to the touch. I am worried about an infection, so I called my Dr. and he has called in an antibiotic. Has anyone else had this happen and if so what was the out come?
