Recommended Posts

i have a large know under one of the incisions in my stomach from having surgery. It is a little uncomfortable but not really painful and no fever. It feels almost like the muscle is knoted up under my skin. Has anyone else had this problem?:huh:

If it's not red, swollen, or oozing it's not a problem, it's normal healing. All my incisions feel bumpy underneath. It goes away in time and gets smooth again.

i had little bumps but when i pushed them you can feel them pop inside - it was just a stitch.

i would say if it doesn't go down you might want to have it checked.

sadie it is just your muscles healing from the cutting on it..If it turns red and infected looking than I would be concerned..Mine did the same thing but as I get further along the places are getting softer and healing..

yea I sort of thought it was maybe part of the healing process and this was my first surgery so I dont know what to expect or look for. I was told to look out for fever and severe pain and the incision but he out side is pretty much closed and now I have noticed it is a little hrder in tha spot and tension when I stretch . Thanks everyone for sharing it makes me feel a little better .

I have the same thing beneath my largest incision. The dr. said it is normal and it was due to the internal stitching and it should eventually go away when all is healed up.

Hi Sadie,

I have the same thing under one of my incisions. I think its the one that they used to hold the liver out of the way. I think it will go away soon.

How are you doing? How are meals going for you?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
