What is this lump?

Hello dear sisters. My TAH was on June 21. The day after surgery I noticed a bulge in my right lower side. The dr. said it was probably just a collection of blood. Well, the lump has not gone away. It is tender to the touch, and I really feel it when I bend over--like there is something there that does not belong. I finally had an ultrasound done on July 6, but did not yet get the results. I definately saw something on the screen. The technician said it was not a hernia, but something right above my bowels. She was not really allowed to tell me what she thought it was. Did any of you ladies experience anything like this?
Thanks for your help. Reading posts on this site has been so very helpful.
With love, Harp2

What is this lump?

I was really lumpy above my bikini incision the first two weeks after surgery. It was very noticeable. Kind of scary. But it went away and I read here that others had that too. Now I just have that dang ridge above the incision. The lumpiness might just resolve in a few days on its own and you've already got testing done to be safe. Make sure to follow up with your doc but it may just be the usual post-hyst lumpiness....
