Hi bigboned-I had my band removed about a year ago and I had a large 'mass' where the port was, it is completely gone now, I don't remember quite how long-but I'm thinking it was a couple months before it was gone-swelling and scar tissue build up or something-I just remember thinking-something must still be in there it felt so hard-just wanted to share that mine did eventually go away, hopefully yours is gone by now. Good luck!

Thanks for the update jclue...

My incisions and lumps aren't completely gone but I am seeing a lot of progress so feedback like yours helps me feel that my results may be typical for this type of surgery and that it's just going to take time.

I had my removal on 10/31/09 and 1-month later the lumps are less visible to the point where I can wear regular clothes again - it no longer looks like I'm hiding a golf-ball under my shirt.
