Lump underneath my biggest incision

[Calista Burage 5]

I have this hard lump under my biggest incision.....is that normal?

Yep, it's your port.

[Calista Burage 5]

Is it going to stay like that?

[♕ajtexas♕ 3,771]

Probably not once the swelling goes down. My port doesn't protrude out, but I can rub my hand over it and feel it.

I often find myself rubbing my port, almost like a comfort thing....yep band still there.

ok thank you!!!!

Everyone's ports are different. There are some people who have lost such excessive weight that when you take a pic of them their port is protruding out so much it's very evident. Again, different for everyone

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.

The port usually most people can't feel it till you start losing cause it is buried under the musle sometimes and as you lose , you will notice it more it is a funny little bump mine goes up and down meaning I can feel it right under my faint scar on the left, right above my belly button when I am laying down , but when I stand up it goes above the scar also if I am full then I can feel it a lot and it says don't even try to eat lol also you should ask your doc if it is normal and have him/her to check it for you , I a a yr. banded so , hope all goes well for you.

I saw my doc sat I'm one week out he said there was Water around the incision so it's hot and hard right now and to ice it it 4x a day for 20 minutes, seems to help.

My Wife had surgery on 9/16 and she has a lump as well and it is hard like a hernia. She is going to get it checked out. She has classic hernia symptoms. Hard as rock and hurts when you press on it.

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.

I went to go see the doc today and he did say it was a hematoma, he is going to see me back in a week and if it's no better then he said he is going to stick a needle in it and drain it!

It helped reduce mine, but it is still not gone away. When did you have your surgery?

My surgery was 10/9/13
