Wtloss 75 Posted November 12, 2012 Mine is on the left side of my navel. It's the largest of the incisions. It is usually the spot that has the most discomfort. I hope you're doing well. 1 thinkt2013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thinkt2013 74 Posted November 12, 2012 Thank you both! I am doing fantastic. I honestly expected so much worse. I do have on incision larger than the others, but no pain. I am guessing you are right, and it is there anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shaneman2878 19 Posted November 12, 2012 I can really feel mine when I stand up. What I mean by that, is that I can feel it with my hand. Now that my swelling is down, I can trace the full circle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 12, 2012 as you lose you will be able to feel it with no problem.... Its sewn into the wall of the abdomen. Mine is 2" above my belly button. Now that I have lost the majority of my weight I can see it ... it resembles a small egg under the skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted November 13, 2012 You will definitely find it when they do your first fill! Lay on your back on a pillow and poke your tummy up. you should be able to feel it, most likely above the largest scar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
