I had a band place 2008 and it remved 2009. anouther band placed feb 2010 and it removed oct 6th 2010. the bigger of the 3 incision sights is about 3 inches long, it is healing well, the skin isn't red or hot. there is a hard lump under the skin and it hurts. any one else get this?

Not sure, but is it possible that it's scar tissue? Best to call your doctor if you're uncomfortable.

Take care.

Not sure if you got that checked out but I had the same thing. For me, it was... well, blood. The blood had built up and basically one of the stitches came loose and out the blood came. For the most part it all came out. The doctor said the rest would slowly self absorb back into my body.
