Has anybody else had a problem with a contracted muscle in there abdomen. I was banded 6/1/09 and a shortley afterword I noticed a lump in the center of my stomach aprrox. 2 inches above one of my incisions. My surgeon looked at it and said it was a contracted muscle. It seemed to be getting smaller and less painful as time went by. I went back to work on 7/6/09 and was only able to work 3 days and it was back again. (I do alot of heavy lifting at work) My surgeon checked it out again and said it was still a contracted muscle and has taken me off work for 2 more weeks. Has anyone else had any issues like this. Kind of bummed out about it but I'm still glad to have my band. 373/303/277
