Largest Incision issues



Recommended Posts

Ok so my largest incision was really sore today when I checked it, one end is really hard and I can feel a good sized lump underneath

the skin, it wasn't there a few days ago.

What is it?

I am eleven days banded, looks good otherwise.

Thanks!!!

P.S.

Anyone in Raleigh need a new friend.

Most likely what you are feeling is your port under the skin. It is where the largest incision is located. I'm not sure why you haven't noticed it sooner unless it was swollen and you were not able to feel it until now.

My largest incision is near my belly button left side

It's just the one side of the scar nearest the belly button that Is lumpy

I'm glad that Happy2Lose responded -- that is 99.9999% for sure your port! No need to worry -- that's where mine is, too.

Congratulations on getting banded! Take your measurements and some before photos asap if you haven't already! You will definitely want these things later on!

Best,

Catherine

My port site (also at the belly button -slightly to the left) was totally unnoticable to me until I started to feel better. About 5 days after surgery, it turned BLACK, BLUE, PURPLE and GREEN:eek:- but it didn't hurt. Once the colors started to fade my port was super annoying! I felt it every time I sat up, sat down, stood up, laid down...etc. Now, I don't feel it at all.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      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.
