Question:
Incision on stomach from Gastric Bypass Surgery is like a lump.

Is this normal? It feels like a round ball inside    — dbobb32 (posted on October 3, 2007)

It might be . When did you have your surgery and where is the lump?

As an RN and a recent post-op...yes it is normal. More than likely it's a little hematoma (bruise) with scar tissue. I have one on my right upper incision too right now. I had an appointment with the surgeon yesterday and he siad it was just that and that incision was where most of the intrusion/work was done. Warm compresses and light massage (by you) should help alleviate it. You should also let your surgeon know about it. Take care!

I had the same lump, and I would say yes it's normal. It will slowly go away. I mean slowly.
