stomach hard

Anyone else experience a hard top section of their stomach a few weeks post-op? It feels like a potato is in there, or like I'm pregnant in my stomach. Is it normal?

  • Maybe it is my port. I thought they put below the rib. I have my 1st follow up on the 11th. I'll ask them if that is where they put it.

  • Is it your port? That's where mine is. It's a hard plastic piece about 1.5 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch deep.

    I still have it almost a year later. It does tend to get soft once in while. Not sure what it is, just live with it. Someone times I think it's a reaction to overeating.

Are you speaking of the stomach as the organ or the area around your body cavity near your xiphoide below your sternum on the outside?

The area to the right, and a smudge below of my left rib
