My incision where my port is located is bleeding slightly. I was banded on Jan 4th. Is this normal? I saw doctor on Thursday and he said I was healing nicely, but it wasn't bleeding then.

Call the doctor... it could be an infected stitch, but better safe than sorry. If you can apply light pressure to it to see if it stops on it's own. If not... good thing tomorrow is Monday!
