I recently had the gastric sleeve done. I noticed one day after when looking at my incisions and such that the right side of my abdomen is concaved or collapsed inward?

i was wondering if anyone else had this. My doctor and nurse said not to worry but looking at other post ops mine is just... weird. I don’t know if it has to do with the fact I had a hernia removed as well during surgery or that I also have a VP shunt that drains into my stomach.

I added a picture and it’s not gross just... weird as I said. I’m not hurting past the gas pains and of course from the surgery itself.

Mine was a little indented because of 5he internal stitches but yours is really indented. Hopefully it’s just that all the layers of internal stitches. Good luck

Mine was indented too. Over time it'll go away and look a little more normal.
