OneManBand 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Hey everybody - My first post. I must say lurking around this forum and hearing the success stories and positive attitudes gave me the extra push I needed to get banded. I fell a lot better today than earlier in the week and actually went back to work 3 days post-op (i have a desk job). My incisions seem to be healing fine but I do have one concern - Looking down at my incisions from my perspective , the third incision from the left is sore and lumpy between incision 3 and 4. Can anyone explain why? I dont want to call the doctor just yet. Thank you very much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LapBandit 5 Posted February 17, 2007 A lot of surgeons place their incisions in different positions so it's hard for me to know which incision is sore for you. The incision site for the camera for me was close to my belly button and this one got a little gross for me. It depends on how rough they were on each incision as to how much damage was done. My gross one seeped and had some pus, but wasn't warm or red which can indicate infection. Now, my incision for my port was my largest and although it didn't hurt either, it did feel hard and lumpy. So, if it isn't red, warm or painful then you are probably OK. But, you should call your doctor if you suspect there's something wrong. Congrats on your band and happy healing!
