Does any post op?

I still have a big knot in my stomach. Is this my new stomach. Will I always have this big knot in my stomach 2 inches under my breast. Or do I have a big hernia ???? I do alot of ab excercise. I just always asumed it was my new stomach. ( I hope it is )now that I am thin I notice it alot more. When I toucj my stomach I can feel it. Is this normal????? Thanks Barb

Ann, i hope its normal since i have a knot about the same place but bigger i think.mine is about the size of a softball. if you find something out about it let me know. i plan on asking my surgeon at my 6 month appt in may rich w

Barb It kind of sounds like a hernia to me. You ought to have your Surgeon look at it just to be sure.

Hi Barb, I have the same thing and have since surgery, i figured it was my new stomach....don't bother me just feels weird!! I go to my doctor in June and plan on asking about it to make sure!!! Thanks for posting this, it makes me feel better i'm not the only one with this!!! Tab

did you all have open or laparoscopic?

I had open surgery. Thanks Barb

Dr C , Do you think we all have hernias. My surgery was open. Thanks Barb

sounds like a hernia to me...but look at it this way, might help getting approval for plastics..I have a huge hernia, but I keep putting off the plastics. one of these days though

Ann, It's possible but really hard to say over the net... C

Dr. Curry watch out at the conference. We may all be showing you the lumps in our bellies for your opinion..LOL seriously, I know mine is a hernia..it showed up in a CTscan....and Dr. Martin saw it, no doubt about mine.
