possible complication freaking out a bit

[MC Cindy 0]

<p>I am freaking out a bit. I tried looking up what it could be. I have left side pain , i guess where the band is placed around the stomach from the info i could find online. Basically by the ribcage. It is all puffy and extends out. I don't have any other side effect, i can eat and drink just fine. What could it be? It looks like a puffy lump, i guess the size of a cell phone sorry thats all i could think of as a comparison and it puffs out about an inch. The area is not warm or does not look infected. I hope I am making sense here. What could it be? I don't want to over react and but i am kinda worried. i have not eaten anything that could be stuck. anyone have any thoughts what it could be?</p> <p> </p> <p>Cindy</p> i am not sure if i posted this in the right forum, and my port is under my belly button so it would not be the port area.

Since its been almost a month after your surgery, call your dr and explain it to him/her. I wouldnt want to guess because I am not that familiar yet with the things that come up. Hope all works out, keep us posted....Dave

I called and emailed my Dr photos. I am waiting for a response. I am an out of town patient. I will let you know.

I got banded 10/26 I also have a raised area but more in the front. maybe not a big but I am not concerned It is swollen. I go to the Surgeon tonite and will question it. Dont forget they move alot of stuff around It could be a musssle healing.
