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.

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...
