I'm 3 weeks post op. Tonight I noticed the upper right side of my stomach appears visually swollen. I did a lot of bending today but haven't lifted anything over what dr said I can ( heavier than a gallon of water). Has this happened to anyone else?

Could that be where your port is? If so, it will swell up & down for weeks. I'm 10 wks out and still get some bulging at port site.

Sounds like the port to me as well. Can you feel the port under the bulge or is it still too sore to poke at? Port site takes a looooonnng time to heal.

mine was swollen (where my port is located) for about a month. my dr said this is normal. being me, i asked why that is??.....well, because he said i cut your tummy and then sewed this thing in it and well, its healing..it did go down, it was tender for about a month and now its all good, (i can see a slight bulge as i am losing more and more). like knowing i got a secret weapon to help me lose weight.

It's higher then the port like almost under my right breast. It doesn't hurt to touch just looks strange.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
