Incisions..

Hey guys, I was sleeved July 10 so i am a week post op. I noticed today that there is a lump under one of my incisions.. I kind of nervous! Has anyone else had this? My mom thinks it's scare tissue. Ahhh and my "one week" appointment is not until next Friday.. Any suggestions would help!

Thank you! I was getting nervous!

I was also sleeved on the 10th and have the same thing!

It's normal. That lump should be located under your largest incesion. That's the location where they removed the portion of you stomach that was cut off. That lump is the mesh they sow into the abdomal wall to ensure you don't get a hernia form the larger incesion.
