Knot in upper stomach!
Not sure if this is a concern or not or if this is normal but I am 3 months out from having the gastric bypass with the Fobi ring and noticed that I have a knot in my upper stomach directly between and below my breast bones. It is almost like it would be where my stomach begins. It is a little tender but also it is more noticable to touch if laying flat on my back. Did anyone have this or maybe it could be a hernia or scar tissue. I still have trouble with not being able to eat much or drink much at all. I have my 3 month post op check up on Thursday. Any thoughts?
It is probably the lower part of your sternum, called the xiphoid process. Very common to notice it being larger after losing weight. The excess weight over time can pull down on the muscles/ligaments that attach to the xiphoid and make it larger. It probably will be that way forever.
I have this also.
