Bump

[jrosehahn 19]

I recently had the gastric bypass and I’ve noticed that I have bump over my large incision. Is this where they put my separated stomach? Anyone else experience this?

I can feel a bump under the skin on all of my incisions.

This isn’t the incision itself it’s a like a pooch that is above my big incision almost makes me think it may be my stomach that they detached that may still be swollen or something? Idk I just wanted to know if anyone else had it.

I always have one incision that heals slowly and can get lumpy. It’s usually the largest (3 abdominal surgeries and a shoulder surgery). It’s not abnormal. A lot of the time it seems to be a spitting stitch trying to work it’s way out. Ask your surgeon if you can massage it with a little lotion.
