Congratulations! Call your doc, but my understanding is a knot near your largest incision is normal as that should be your port site and where they put your band through the abdominal wall to get to the stomach (some people mistake their actual port for a swelling). For most people this will go down signficantly in about a month or a little longer. I'm sure your surgeon gave you things to watch for on all the incisions...leaking, hot, red, fever, changes (things that indicate an infection). You also need to watch that it doesn't get larger as that can indicate a hernia. 16# is awesome. -BG

Oh, and WELCOME to LBT!!!
