incision bulge

[itsmekarenlee 129]

My biggest incision, about an inch or two, to the left side of my belly button, is a big indent but bulging above the incision. It's always been that way since surgery and I've asked Dr about it twice and he said is the stitch and it will dissolve in a few weeks and it'll pop back out.

Is everyone's like this?

I think all of mine were like that, If I am understanding what you are saying. Of course I am the dork sitting here lifting up my shirt and looking at them all.

The incision you are talking about for me made an indention and made it look like I had rolls of fat where it wasn't like that before.

The others just didn't seem like each side of the incision were level and look much better now that the glue has fallen off.

All of mine were swollen and I was also told the lumps and bumps would disappear after the internal stitches had dissolved. 4 wks out and they were right, incisions 90% healed.

Yes Pik, like that.

He said about 6 wks. I'm just impatient and worried it'll stick like that. My belly looks deformed. So what did he do? Attach a stitch to my ab muscle?? Why? None of the other incisions are doing that gross indent.

I picture when that stitch dissolves my belly will all of a sudden POP back out and be normal. Lol

LOL! One can only hope! I thought it was the weirdest thing, I didn't know other peoples were like that as well. It used to feel really tight but now not as much. I am at 4 weeks today. You know since the surgery and my losing weight I can actually feel muscle under there! WHAT!!!
