Hematoma over port site



Recommended Posts

So as most of you probably had as well I received Lovonox before surgery <the shot in your belly> which is a blood thinner. After surgery when I started walking in the hall I started bleeding from my port site. Since the swelling has gone down I have developed a palm size hematoma over my port site. Has anyone else had this? What did the doctor do? Usually if they are small enough anywhere else my hospital just lets it absorb but since I don't do this surgery and its over my port I have no clue. Afraid I will have to have it evacuated. Tomorrow will be two weeks post op. I have put in a call to my doctor and waiting to hear back.

some times there is Fluid build up between the adipose tissue and the port. Are you feeling pressure, if fluid builds up the doc may have to drain it, if the hematoma is flat without pressure it may resolve itself. Either way it is good that you are consulting your physician.

Hi there! I did have this problem too. The first two weeks I swear it was a half an A cup boob but now that I'm over a month along & am happy to say I'm back to just two boobs & the swelling is completely gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
