7 days post op and my port site seems really swollen?

[kristi43 0]

Anyone has almost a protruding port site? I hope the port is not messed up. I had a lot of violent vomiting for about 3 days post op. Banded on 2/28

I was also banded on 2/28. My port site is still a bit swollen and sore, but nothing too extreme. My surgeon said that was the incision he would be most concerned about if there was an issue. One of my upper incisions has been very swollen and puffy from day one. It is healing well and not infected, just puffy. You might want to give the doctor a call just to be on the safe side.

I'm with ya. I can feel my port right under my incision. That is not where it is supposed to be located. I also did a lot of violent vomiting several days after surgery. I go back to the surgeon next week and I'm sure he'll tell me if something is wrong. I don't think it's a major deal to get it turned right, just more pain and I'm tired of this port pain. Oh well, whatever it takes..

Do you have an appt with your surgeon soon?

Yes, I go on the 11th. I am 20 pounds down since my first dr visit 3 weeks ago. 10 pounds since the surgery. I am hungry though. Tired of liquid and semi-liquid diets.

I was just feeling the same thing (banded 2/26) the port incision is much harder than the others - unfortunatly I still can't lay down without it hurting on the inside. I'm getting sick of my recliner.
