I was going to post this question this morning and have been worried all day! Mine is also on the left side. I described it to my sister as the incision was symetrical straight line but now one spot has a slight droop to it. I have been trying to decide if it was a bulge or bump. I even looked up hernias this morning. The best thing about this site is learning I am not alone. It helps ease my minds

Mine looks like it has fluid in it like a boil or maybe drainage that didn't drain.

I will be calling the Dr tomorrow!! I am afraid that it may have to be lanced and drained.

I was going to start another thread, but maybe someone can help me here!

good to read others are having this post op symptom...I had my surgery on June 30...and the bump above incision is really disgusting...and TODAY I found a big BLISTER...about three inches wide, on the bump...not quite sure what the heck is going on.....maybe rubbing on clothing or something? My bump is very hard...and docs have said it will resolve as it dissolves back into body. I see gyn tomorow so hopefully will get more insight...I look pregnant!
