angiebell 0 Posted June 22, 2005 It's totally normal. It takes a couple of months to go down. I was banded April 27th and mine has gone down a lot. Occasionally I have days where it buldges out more than others. Don't worry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desertmom 297 Posted June 22, 2005 My port didnt buldge but I am very overweight and the dr put it deep.It is still tender to the touch after 2 months but I seem to think that is to be expected. If you get temptrature or the area goes hot and or red.....see the dr. that means infection.If you dont have a 100+ to lose then it is possibly just the way it is in thinner bandsters...I dont know...
