[vicki s 146]

I have a very large lump near one of the port sites, It hurts so bad I can barely move sometimes...I am 1 wk post op, and the doc told me the other day it was prob. fluid...it is not getting better by the day...It is making me miserable..none of the other port sites are even painful let alone swollen...did anyone have this issue...I have a larg grape sized one now near where they took out the drain, but not near as big as this other one....thanks

I think you need to call your surgeon and go see him. I don't think that's normal. Good luck, sorry your going through this!

How are you feeling?

[vicki s 146]

hey tiny, going slowly, the lumps are still there, i dont think there going anywhere soon..Im 10 days out today and lost 10 lbs, I thought maybe I wasnt doing enough so I just went to Walmart and grocery store, didnt get much, just got home cuz I thought I was gonna faint, I feel so weak, is that normal?

I'm still very weak, it will be a week tomorrow and yes, it's normal. When I had my gallbladder out, the hardest thing was getting my normal energy back. Major surgery takes a real toll on your body and it takes a while to get back to yourself.
