I noticed this morning that my belly button was deeper. I couldnt feel it like I was able to before the surgery. Ive always been an innie but now I cant feel the button like I could before im 5 days post op. Anyone else experience this?

lol I noticed a lot of things changed.. that too.. I was not an inny.. but I noticed mine is deeper.. I can bend over easier.. I can squat down now.. not doing the golfer pose.. things are easier for me.. stairs are.. I dont get winded like I used to after a couple of flights..so that is great.. I may start wearing necklaces cuz my neck is not as big. it shrank..as did my feet.. almost 2 sizes.. go figure.. odd things I tell you.

Your tummy is still numb from everything. It will take a few weeks before it heals completely. Give it time to heal. I rather be happy, healthy and skinny versus feeling my belly button. I opened this thinking i was gonna read about a 3rd nipple popping out of somewhere lmfao.

Embrace the good changes and stop looking for the bad. Just like @NancyDec20... Look for non scale victories. Like jeans you couldn't get into 2 weeks ago. I'm almost 2 weeks out and i got my hair done today took a pic with the bf and compared it to one i took 2 weeks before Surgery. Things like this will give you motivation but if you stay at home wondering why your belly button is so deep and start looking for other defects you'll just bring yourself down and won't be able to focus on the original reason why you got sleeved. Good Luck and keep your head up!!! Forget about your belly button for now and embrace the new you!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
