Post Op Swelling
Hello everyone,
I had my surgery on July 18th and I am wondering about the swelling. It seems everything has gone down on my belly, except the place where my port is. I have a noticable bump. Is this normal?
It doesn't hurt, it just looks like a alien is trying to get out!

Victoria,
I always suggest calling your Doctor in questions like this. It's always best to hear "that's quite common" instead of hearing "Why didn't you contact me when it first occurred".
Honestly, I think it's nothing - but best to be safe then sorry.

Hi Tom,
I have a follow up appointment with my doctor on Wednesday. He had put me on some antibiotics because he thought I might have a infection. I will have him take a look at it then. I was just curious about the swelling because it has been two weeks, and it is weird how this one spot just kinda pokes out.
Thank you for the advice!
