Puckering At The Incision Site Where The Tools Were Inserted?



Recommended Posts

That's the best way I can describe it.

This was originally where I thought my port was. It was a puckered spot on my right side, almost aligned with the incision above my belly button. This is the spot where it would hurt if I coughed, sneezed, etc...maybe dimpled is a better adjective. Basically, you could stick your finger in it. Like dough, almost.

Today, I was at work and I bent at the waist while sitting down to pick something up (I kinda forgot that I shouldn't do that quite yet) and I felt a popping feeling and then the dent was gone. There's no bleeding, no bruising and less pain than there was before.

I called my surgeon's office and they said that it sounds like I popped a stitch, but since it's not bleeding, bruising or tender/hot to the touch, that it should heal itself.

Has anybody else had any experience with this?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that the thing I had dubbed as belly button 2.0 is gone, I just can't shake the feeling that I did something to screw up...

For what it's worth, my mom had a gastric bypass surgery in 2009 and she had the same dent. Hers is still kind of there, though.
