I am 11 days post op and yesterday I noticed a lump the size of a quarter under the skin under that incision. I called the surgeons office and the RN said that it was only a sack of fluid/blood that collected and that my body would take care of this in about 3-4 weeks. Anyone else experience this problem?

I was banded on 12/8/2008 and the first two days were really rough with the gas traveling and my abdomen feeling like it was going to rip apart every time I moved. Today I still have some gas rumbling but I have been afraid of taking a shower and have been washing up really good. Should my incision sites be healed up by now to where I can take a shower? Also, the big incision and one on my side are the only ones that bother me. I keep holding my stomach right around the big incision because it feels as if my stomach is going to fall out because of the pulling sensation. Anyone have the same feelings?
