Did you have open surgery, because if you did it's just the scar tissue. It will heal and go away with time. But please do check this with your doc. I know that I had that problem and that's what it was. Good Luck to you.

Sounds like a hernia to me. Get it checked out by your Dr. Best of Luck!

I had a knot too, early on and it went away. But to be safe, have it checked out.

Hey Melissa, after my Lap RNY I had what looked like an upside-down soup bowl on my stomach. It really stuck out, although it didn't hurt. Whatever it was it went away with no complications and it wasn't a hernia in my case.
