Ok so my largest incision was really sore today when I checked it, one end is really hard and I can feel a good sized lump underneath

the skin, it wasn't there a few days ago.

What is it?

I am eleven days banded, looks good otherwise.

Thanks!!!

P.S.

Anyone in Raleigh need a new friend.

Most likely what you are feeling is your port under the skin. It is where the largest incision is located. I'm not sure why you haven't noticed it sooner unless it was swollen and you were not able to feel it until now.

My largest incision is near my belly button left side

It's just the one side of the scar nearest the belly button that Is lumpy

I'm glad that Happy2Lose responded -- that is 99.9999% for sure your port! No need to worry -- that's where mine is, too.

Congratulations on getting banded! Take your measurements and some before photos asap if you haven't already! You will definitely want these things later on!

Best,

been banded 5 days..top incision where port is, is totally black and blue...other 4 look ok:thumbup:

my large incision was sore for 6 weeks i cound not even tie my shoe without putting my foot up on something now um 8 weeks post op and i have no pain and doing great love my band !!!!

My port site (also at the belly button -slightly to the left) was totally unnoticable to me until I started to feel better. About 5 days after surgery, it turned BLACK, BLUE, PURPLE and GREEN:eek:- but it didn't hurt. Once the colors started to fade my port was super annoying! I felt it every time I sat up, sat down, stood up, laid down...etc. Now, I don't feel it at all.
