mpt809 30 Posted December 20, 2016 Today I woke up with a small mass near my left side incision site? Has anyone else encountered this? What did they do about it? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodyslmmn 86 Posted December 20, 2016 I have only one incision in my belly button that has a small mass. My surgeon checked it and said it was fine. He had me cough etc to make sure it wasn't a hernia. Everything looked good to him. Have your surgeon check it... but it's probably normal.

sherri~ 77 Posted December 20, 2016 I had that. My surgeon calls it "ridging" and said it's Fluid built up and it will dissipate. Mine was nearly gone by my 6 week checkup but was there from week 3 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They said that as long as it wasn't red or leaking it would probably be a Fluid bubble built up. Did it hurt you to move around in any way?

sherri~ 77 Posted December 20, 2016 It didn't hurt and in fact I only found it because I was trying to stop my belly from itching! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
