Hello all...i am feeling better these days .Down 42 lbs since surgery on 3/18/19. I had some stomach swelling on the right side of my stomach along the front that should have gone down after surgery but now since im slimming down the bulge is more pronounced. It doesn't hurt just looks like a large fatty know. I know this was the side where they cut through the muscle but i thought it would be healing more by now. When i pinch it or push on it it just feels like a large amount of subcutaneous fat that has collected in this one spot. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what did you do shrink this area?
