Scar healing

Hi. I had surgery 7/15/14. Doing great. But I have a question, I have a round lump under and around the 3 inch incision site. I'm afraid it could be a hernia. Anyone else experiencing this?

If you push on it and can feel it being pushed back in (reducing) then it's a hernia. I don't have any lumps that big but I can feel hard tissue under my laparoscopic sites. It's more than likely just healing scar tissue. To help that you can massage those areas and the hardness will decrease over time.

Hopefully it is just scar tissue! Thanks for the input.

I had surgery 7/7 and noticed I have a pokey thing sticking out of the large incision site. It is very small but I wonder if its delay the healing. Anyone else experience this?

I was sleeved on 5/7 and I had a few bumps under my scars and I had one of the internal stitches come out through the glue but they just pulled it out.
