Idk If Anyone Can Help But I have A Long Incision (Well My Longest) In The Middle Of My Stomach Right Above My Belly Button and Under the skin It Feels Hard Like Really Hard It Doesn't Hurt I'm Just Worried And I Also Have An Open Incision That has Been Open For Days Now And I Can See InSide But It Does Not Hurt I Need To Call Me Doc I Think Anyone Know If It Is Supposed To Be Hard Though. ?

Hi,

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I HAVE had another open abdominal surgery - it could possibly be scar tissue but it's still worth talking to your doctor about. There's still a chance you could be developing an infection or something. I know I never felt any pain even if I poked my incision, in fact I still have no feeling at all in a section of my stomach about 2" wide by 4" long (that is to say, you might not feel the pain even if something is starting to go wrong).

Hope you get things resolved quickly and it turns out to be nothing major, and congrats on your surgery!

I Want To Give Him A Call But I'm Pretty Sure He's Not There Because MY 2 Week Appointment Was Supposed To Be Coming Up Soon And He Said He Wouldn't Be Around So It Would Be the Following Week But I'll Call And try

Even if your Dr is not there, sometimes talking to a nurse can be the reassurance you need.
