Question:
I know that many questions have been answered regarding the lump around the incision

When I stand up you can notice the lump through my tops and when I cough I can feel it. It also itches sometimes If I relax I can not feel it being hard just when I cough. When I lay on my left side it doesn't bother me as much as when I lay on my right side. Can this be a hernia? I do not have an appointment with my doctor until Jan. 2008 My RNY was April 2, 2007 and my last visit with him was July 27, 2007 Everthing was ok then Started at 248 I am now 168 I would like to exercise But I am afraid of this lump.    — dbobb32 (posted on November 6, 2007)

WOW, you and I are almost the same. Had my RNY on April 2, 2007 and weighed 247 now 169. How are you doing for eating? Would love to chat with you. I would say it could be a hernia but go to your family doctor to have it checked out, don't wait for the bariatrics doc. Could be something else but I would start there. They could order xray, Ultrasound etc. Good luck and if you'd liike to chat email me at [email protected]
