Mass underneath incision site



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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

I called the office today as I was extremely concerned. 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?

It didn't hurt and in fact I only found it because I was trying to stop my belly from itching!

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
