Knot In Area Of Lap Band Incision



Recommended Posts

There is a really hard knot behind my largest incision. I know that's not where my port is, any ideas what this may be, Has anyone had this? Should I be really concerned. It doesn't hurt. I'm just concerned.

Probably just scar tissue forming. When were you banded?

I have the same thing on my port scar. I think it's ok because I was just checked today and stitches were removed.

My port is right behind the largest incision (lower left abdomen), it's about the size of a half dollar, a bit thicker though.

I'm 3wks post-op... And at 2 wks I started feeling that. I just so happened to see my surgeon that day. He said it scar tissue forming . I didn't even have to tell him I was feeling it . He just said "at this stage you my feel some thickness or bulging around the port area". And it just so happened at that moment I was .

I also have some thickness around my laergest incision. I have like a discomfort on my left lower abdomen I'm sure it is due to the port but I can't feel the port? Where is the port located actually?

Hello everyone. I was banded on September 30th and I started to feel the thinckness around my port incision, but as time progressed it when away. I hope that will happen for you all as well.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
