Question for former lap band people

I had my band removed and a sleeve done on 5/5.  The site where the port was is HUGE, looks like a goose egg, and it's very sore. Dr. says it is "to be expected", and will go down in a few months.  Questions....did your port site swell, ooze and hurt?  How long?  Thanks, y'all.

I had my lap band removed on 4/28 and my port site is still sore and  oozing. I am scheduled to have my gastric bypass on 5/28. I have to have 2 separate surgies 

Hmm that seems a bit strange.  

I had my revision the beginning of February band to bypass with gallbladder removal and none of my incisions ever looked like a goose egg or oozed.  The biggest one was indented for a month, but again no oozing.  My port site area was fine no more pain once it was out. 

My port site was very sore compared to the other incision sites but not swollen nor oozing.  Oozing sounds like infection to me - I'd have my PCP look at it if you are concerned.  Good luck.

I didn't have any swelling or oozing with mine either but I have heard iof others that have and most of the time it was just a hematoma or a build up of blood pooling under the skin which is usually no big problem. However if it is concerning you I would do like the others say and see your primary doc about it just to ease your mind. He would be able to tell if there is an infection or anything else to be concerned about.

Thanks, everyone.  I saw the Dr on Wed, he said it's fine...maybe will even get bigger.  It sure is sore!  appreciate the comments.
