Moveable lumps



Recommended Posts

I have developed two lumps since my surgery. One on my arm and one on my collarbone. They move under the skin and when I research seems they are fatty benign cysts. Not sure if this is related to the sleeve surgery or weight loss.

I am also achy in my joints. Just wondering if anyone has experiences.

I have random movable lumps too. Some of them are lymph nodes and some are all kinds of other benign little blobs that show up sometimes. I have a few cervical lymph nodes that I can feel around my collarbone area, which freaked me out a few years ago so I had them scanned- all fine. Is your other lump on your arm, under your arm? If so, that's more likely a lymph node and that would be one that you want to go to your doctor about.

The vast majority of lumps we find are benign little blobs that mean nothing, but running them by your doctor when you see him or her never hurts. I had a weird red zit-like thing in my hair that I was 90% sure was nothing, but I still asked my doctor about it when I was in the office. Second opinions don't hurt- especially when you are diagnosing with Google. :)

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
