I was banded on Sept 4th, and the last two days have had issues with being very sore and not being able to bend over, sit for too long or lie on my stomach. Today I noticed that about 2-3" above my largest incision(above the navel) it is like there is a lump/knot in there!

I have not had a fill yet, supposed to be this WED coming up..but I can not eat more than 3 oz at a time anyway..

My labs last week showed things are going great, I am down 43 pounds now and dropping meds like crazy...

So I am pleased with things...

Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing the lump?

If you are in pain and have an unusual lump, I'd call the doctor and try to get in on Monday, instead of Wed.

I had tons of pain for the first 4 weeks after surgery and had lumps, but now they are going away. What I can feel now is my port (I think) if I push by my incision.

But I think because you are 6 weeks out and it's new, I'd call.
