Does A Painless Lump In The Ankle After Gastric Sleeve Procedure Need Medical Attention?
I have just had gastric sleeve ....2 weeks ago. I am doing very well now, but I noticed a lump on my ankle. It is NOT painful, but it is the size of a golf ball. I have been on blood thinner since surgery and completed the dosages this weekend. Should I go to ER.
Hi Welcome to hcm After bariatric surgery due to sudden wt loss some kind of disfigurement of body is known. This cant be due to anticoagulents you are taking postoperatively since you are not having pain. You can safely observe it and show your surgeon if it becomes painful or increasing rapidly. Regards
