Hey guys, I was sleeved July 10 so i am a week post op. I noticed today that there is a lump under one of my incisions.. I kind of nervous! Has anyone else had this? My mom thinks it's scare tissue. Ahhh and my "one week" appointment is not until next Friday.. Any suggestions would help!

that's normal - it will soften and go away in time. I'm about a month out and I can feel a little denseness under my biggest incision, but it's almost gone - and it felt like a big hard lump right after surgery.

It's normal. That lump should be located under your largest incesion. That's the location where they removed the portion of you stomach that was cut off. That lump is the mesh they sow into the abdomal wall to ensure you don't get a hernia form the larger incesion.

      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.

      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...

        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.
