[carvey 0]

First of all, this forum has helped me a great deal!!!!

Thanks everyone because I've found my confort, help, advice, and a place to vent and I know that you understand me because you are in the same path.

Well, I was banded six days ago and I still have pain inside where the port is located. The area in wich the port is seems to be swollen and the wound has some rednes on the bottom part. I have no feever but feel very very tired and with no energy. I was supposed to go back to work on Thursday but I'm gonna have to call and change my start day to next Monday.

Can you please share your experience with the port, the wound and the muscle used to attach the port????

Should I be worrying?

Common and no real concern for worry I think. It may be your port that you're feeling or you may have developed a seroma. Your port incision will take the longest to heal and will be uncomfortable for weeks to come. Let it heal. If the bump you feel is still there, just have your surgeon look at it when you see him/her next.

I was also banded 6 days ago. I don't have the same problem. I would call your doctor because if you are getting infected, it's best to catch it early. Let him look at it. Good luck!

I called the Dr. today and explained my concern. First I was told to just take some ibopruphen 800ml every 6 hrs but they they called me back and said that the Surgeon wanted to see me tomorrow morning to look at the wound. The pain has increased instead of decrease and I feel like a hard thinkg inside that pulls down when I get up or when I sit down.
