Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hello... I just found a lump or knot right beside my incision. It hurts when I cough or move the wrong way. At first I thought it was a gas pocket so I took some gas-X and walked but it didnt go away. The pain is so bad at times it takes my breath. Has this happened to anyone or does anyone have any idea what may have caused this? Im scared and gonna call my doc tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I called Doc and he was out but the nurse told me that it may be a hernia or a fluid poclet from surgery. But they didnt seem too worried about it. I still have my orginal appt for thurs. They told me if I am in too much pain go to the ER. Hell I could be dead till the ER around here takes care of you. My gf hubby was in an accident today 7am at 3pm he is sitting in the hallway cuz there are no beds. I am gonna try to stick it out till thurs. I will let you know what doc says.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I had surgery on 6/23/04 and noticed shortly after I had the knot but it didnt hurt like it does now. I will see what the doc says on thurs. Scared a bit, Tammy In PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Sounds good on the tummy tuck but damn I dont want another operation. I just had 3 since May 11, 04. They are way to fresh in my mind. OUCH !!!!!!! Tammy In PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Tammy, Good luck seeing the doc on Thursday. Just remember to take it easy and try not to do too much too fast. Keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Do you think it could be a hernia? Let your doc know, he will check it for you. I have a knot right at the top of my incision that is soooo tender, but seing that I still have my staples in, I am guessing it is normal, but I will ask my doc about it tomorrow and tell you what he says. > let us know what your dr. says. sorry, i haven't had that happen to me. > > in Delaware > Lap RNY 3/10/04 > 261/178/120 > > In a message dated 7/25/2004 9:35:18 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Tryin2Smile720@a... writes: > > >Hello...
