Hi, I was sleeved on April 8th and Im on my sixth day of recovery. The incision right above my belly button has started to hurt more than anywhere else and I feel a hard lump.

Is this normal ? Has anyone else experienced this ? Left a message for my doctor, but wanted to hear from everyone else.

Thanks~

The lumps in my incisions are the disposable stitches. Almost 2 months out and I still have lumps they can last up to 6 months or more depending on the person. I also read, do not rub them if they hurt it can delay your healing process.

You should be concerned if the incision has:

1. swelling.
2. increased redness around the wound.
3. pus or bleeding from the wound.
4. the wound feeling warm.
5. an unpleasant smell from the wound.
6. increasing pain.
7. a high temperature (fever) of 38°C (100.4°F) or above.
8. swollen glands.
