Re: lump just below port...

[Guest guest]

It helps if you tell us your band date! If you're a fairly new post-

op, this is likely simply scar tissue that has formed, or a small

hematoma, which will absorb in time. If you're a long way out from

sutgery, no telling what it is - so please see your family doc if

you're conerned. Sandy R

D'oh! Of course it would! I'm so out of it! I had my lapband done

Feb.2003 and have gone from 330lbs to 185lbs todate! I feel great. I

have a little bit of slippage due to a couple of months ago I had a

stomach virus and has vomitting/dry heaving alot. It moved a little

out of place, but no defill needed. I have no pain, no reflux, no

marked restriction (can eat and drink as usual)...just this new bump

has developed and I feel like an alien is gonna pop out soon!

Ummm...I have no idea what it is! Can't see it! A 100 things it

could be. check in with your family doc - a " laying on of hands " is

needed. And your weight loss is awesome - great job! Sandy RN
