Moveable lumps



Recommended Posts

I have developed two lumps since my surgery. One on my arm and one on my collarbone. They move under the skin and when I research seems they are fatty benign cysts. Not sure if this is related to the sleeve surgery or weight loss.

I am also achy in my joints. Just wondering if anyone has experiences.

I have random movable lumps too. Some of them are lymph nodes and some are all kinds of other benign little blobs that show up sometimes. I have a few cervical lymph nodes that I can feel around my collarbone area, which freaked me out a few years ago so I had them scanned- all fine. Is your other lump on your arm, under your arm? If so, that's more likely a lymph node and that would be one that you want to go to your doctor about.

The vast majority of lumps we find are benign little blobs that mean nothing, but running them by your doctor when you see him or her never hurts. I had a weird red zit-like thing in my hair that I was 90% sure was nothing, but I still asked my doctor about it when I was in the office. Second opinions don't hurt- especially when you are diagnosing with Google. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
