if its the large incision it is most likley your port, No touchie lol

I was banded on June 5 and I have the same thing I called my Dr he said its ok it's scare tissue.

I'm guessing it's like cut muscle or something along those lines, I had 5 incisions and everyone of them has it.

thnks everyone i love this site everyone is so good at responding :)

I'm 9 days postop and just noticed the hardness under the large incision. It burns some when I bend over as well. It isn't the port, as it follows the entire length of the incision. I agree that it is probably scar tissue/healing.

Most likely it is scar tissue forming. I have used Mederma in the past, which is a skin therapy for scars. After the incision is closed from initial healing, you gently massage the gel into the incision site. The massage, over time does break down some of the scar tissue...at least it did for me.
