Have a lump that formed above my belly button?!?

[hopetolose 192]

So I am pretty sure I know where my port is, as I have been able to feel it since surgery. It is located just to right of my belly button and I can still feel it there. But I have a new lump just above my belly button that has just appeared today. I dont know what it is It doesnt necessarily hurt but I am kinda concerned about it. I have felt pretty good the last couple of days and did a little bit of very much needed housework and some laundry. I made sure that I didnt pick up anything heavy.

I am going to call the doctor in the morning, but wondering if anyone has heard of this as of yet. Post op is 10 days out.

Maybe it's the band tubing?

My guess is it's nothing serious and developed during healing. I would mention it at your next visit, but not sure I would make a separate appt about it, since you are only 10 days out. Or maybe just call them and ask the nurse

Are yo sure it's not your port? thats where mine is, above my belly button, like below my breast bone.

I think it is probably a seroma....fluid leakage from the muscle being angry with having the port sewn in. Mine got huge and eventually went down...the body will reabsorb the Fluid after the muscle heals. By all means check with your surgeon, though.

Best wishes,
