I had my gb 3 weeks ago. I'm guessing the two dimples in my stomach where the incisions were are normal. ?? But when do they go away? Or do they?

I had a really big dimple on my left incision site but it's gone now. I'm 13 weeks postop and I honestly can't tell you when it went away! I had forgotten about it until I just read your post. LOL

One thing I can tell you that I've noticed is that as I've lost weight, my tummy has gotten smaller so my incision scars have gotten closer together.

I have my dr said its bc when they stitch the inside it can pull things like muscle and skin wall in to the stitch. Make any sense? Lol not to good at explaining things lol it does go away on time as everything heals!

I know exactly what you mean. About two weeks postop I has the most excruciating pain that felt like my muscle was ripping. They said it was because of the sutures inside. It took a good two weeks to go away but ice help a lot.

I thought I was crazy because I could not explain it to know one. I told my husband it felt every time I got up i could feel something moving in there but I didn't know what and it was a little sore. I am a few days of two weeks and i am going pretty good i see the dr on aug 1.

I'm dealing with that same type of pain right now. It never stops hurting, pain meds take it to a dull roar. Laughing hurts so bad I end up bawling.

I had dimples that are slowly going away. I am 4 months post op. As your stomach shrinks so will your dimples. :)
