Port site infection



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone else has had any port infection issues? I am 4 months post surgery and had a small unfill on Monday. By that night, my port incision started to look swollen. On Tuesday, it looked worse and by yesterday I started to feel sick. Long story short, I ended up back at the dr and was diagnosed with an infection. Luckily, it was caught early enough and there will be no band consequences (like unfilling or surgery) but I do have to endure antibiotics and feeling pretty crappy. Just wondering if this is unusual??? I am learning that antibiotics are a different beast with a band in place! My belly is making some seriously strange noises... My kids even commented on the rumbling!

Hi. I am 10 weeks post op, and the pain around my port started getting really bad, so I could not even lean over. I have an infection too, and on 10 days of antibiotics, and it is starting to feel better. Today was the first time in weeks I could bend over to put my socks on. If it does not get better, I may have to have the port removed. But it does feel better, but not 100 % yet. I am not sure if it's unusual or not to have an infection but is kinda strange you didn't have any pain. I was miserable. If you had waited till you had pain, it probably would have been much worse. Glad it was caught, and good luck with the drug therapy.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
