Hi all, I hope one of you can help me. I was banded 22 months ago. I just now noticed a hard lump under my incision. I read some other posts where other people experienced this at their port area. I don't think it is my port...when I got filled, the port injection site was a lot lower down on my abdomen.

Could this be scar tissue, and if so should I be concerned? Could this be the band that I am feeling?

Just would like to get an idea from you guys before I call the doctor.

Thanks!

It is most likely scar tissue. It is nothing to worry about as far as causing problems. Mine got so big it looked like an alien erupting from my midriff and I had my port moved and changed to a smaller low profile port a few hours ago. It is not your band, for sure.

Thanks for responding, I feel a bit better now

You are welcome...by the way I forgot to say that your port will seem to be in a different location depending if you are sitting, standing, or lying down...probably not so much because the port has moved but more because the skin has changed in texture and thickness.

Best wishes,

Mimi

It's either scar tissue or your port. You'd be surprised how much losing fat can shift things around.
