hi thanks for ur replys. i went to my gp and my nurse told me to leave it open to let the air get to it which i did, but last night it started to really bleed so ended up at a and e where the dr they said it needed evacuating, i didnt have any infection but a build up of the blood had gathered and he squoze it all out all bad blood and including some clots, so glad i went and he said it was a good job i did go as it would have turned to an abscess if i hadnt gone and had it removed so good job it had started to bleed . i got to go back to my gp on monday now so he can look at it. so take notice peeps any problems go to hospital as can need looking at.. thanks.denise:eek:

Port "problem"? - anyone else?
denise37 replied to Cleo's Mom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hiya, yes this happened to me to exactly the same, it started a week after my op, the same as u dark red blood, when i looked mine is from where the stitch was , i saw my nurse at my gp surgery and she put a mepore dressing back on and said keep and eye on it..i also called dietician at the hospital where i had it done and she said she would inform my surgeon, she also said that it is normal as it can take upto 3 months to heal properly, and just keep an eye on it, i went to my nurse again today and it is healin but very slow.. i can also feel my port too and that is also normal. it has been 4 weeks since my op and it is still bleeding but it is getting less... hope i put ur mind at ease if ur like me u will still be a bit concerned.. all the best denise.x -

hi im 3 weeks post op and my port incision is still bleeding . has n e one else had this. when called the people where my op was done i was told to leave it another couple of weeks as because the port is attached to a muscle it can take much longer to settle, i saw my gps nurse who put steri strips on and a mepore dressing but as its bleeding still the steri strips didnt stick.. get in touch .x denise:rolleyes:

hi, my name is Denise, i had my band on 12th sept 08, i had it at birmingham heartlands hospital and i was in over night, lapiscopically 6 small incisions, and they have healed well .. one however has bled a little. i have all praise for my surgeon and his team and the hospital itself i was very impressed with it all. i am just hoping now the weight will drop off. i was already attending a slimming club and had lost 5st 9lb b4 the op and have lost 13lb since the op so all good and i would recomend it to anyone,. you here good and bad stories but everyone is different,. but im pleased(as yet) that i have had it done.x. Feel free to ask any questions and if i can answer them i will..x:smile:
