Lump underneath my biggest incision
Countryheart2000 replied to Calista Burage's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
sounds like a hematoma. A heating pad helps it to go down, but there is not nothing they usually do for it. Just have to go away on its own. -
Went for 1st fill, but dr. tried twice to find port...no fill

Lump underneath my biggest incision
Countryheart2000 replied to Calista Burage's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have had that lump, and it might be a hemotoma. thought mine was my port too, but nurse said it was not. The port is deep under muscle. I had my surgery 8-5-13and it is still there. I have not had a fill yet because of it being tender. I am scheduled for my first fill next Wednesday 10-23. I hope I can get it. -

When he had the needle in me, he was moving it all around, besides pushing. I am going to ask about numbing. I dad asked the nurse when we were doing preop, and she told me he don't numb. She said he is good, and he does it quick. IDK. -

I think I will do that....my area under my port incision is blue, so tender. I think it's from where the dr. Pushed and squeezed trying to find my port. I don't want to go through that again....... -

No, he does not numb! He stuck me twice and that needle is 5 inches long. My port site is so sore. My port is under the muscle, so it's in pretty deep. I just have to be careful with my calories. -

It sounds like we are on the same path with our surgeries. I was banded on the 5th with hiatal hernia repair. Would like to be able to chat with you on our progress. I could use a buddy. -

Please don't stress yourself out. My husband doesn't understand either, and he has never been over weight! My surgery is Monday the 5th of August! I am on the downside of the preop diet, just have 3 more days. You can do this. Stay focused!
