rose2359 4 Posted May 2, 2012 I was banded 8 days ago on April 24. Seems as though my port site has gotten more tender and is swollen. It also has a round egg size area that is firm. My bf says no it isnt more swollen. I dont know if I have a problem or if I am pushing myself physically too soon or what. I am definitely more sore. I also am no longer taking any pain meds so this may be why. Has anyone had a prob like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waitingpatiently 250 Posted May 2, 2012 When in doubt give your doctor a call. But just to reassure you a little. I'm about 6 weeks out. My port site still gets sore from time to time especially if I wear pants that push on it. I too half a egg size firm spot that is very obvious (mostly in the morning hours). I asked my doctor about it on my follow up and he said both were normal. But again....its always best to ask the doctor or nurse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rose2359 4 Posted May 4, 2012 Thank you for your help. I did end up seeing my surgeon. I had Fluid building up around my port that needed to be drained. I feel much better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
