I have a hardness about an inch in length along my incision. It feels like a piece of wood or hardened skin. Is this normal?

@@grannyof6, I have that too under all 5 of my incisions. It is the sutured my surgeon did under the skin.

Could that be it?

I had five incisions. 4 very small at about 1/4" and one around 1-1/2". The larger one I feel very hard right behind it. I asked the doc the said that is normal behind the larger incision as that is where hey remove the tissue from and cut through adnominal muscle. I'm 3 weeks out and all have just about healed and glue has mostly fallen off.

I can relate to migalo but wow the hardness under all incisions would really worry me even more than the one. Has a dr seen them?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
