Gastric Sleeve Pre-op "innie", Post-op "outie"

[ravenjeh 16]

Will it ever go back? I understand the largest incision is right under my bellybutton, but at almost 2 months post-op, I figured any swelling would be gone and my poor little protruding navel would go back to normal. Does anyone else have this problem?

Mine is missing the button it had in the middle bit it doesn't poke out. Now it just goes in like someone tufted my tummy.

I would ask my surgeon if that happened. That sounds a little unusual.

I used to have a very sensitive outie that has become a nice innie. I guess there is less in me to push outie!
