Who Else Has Now Two Belly Buttons?



Recommended Posts

I have a huge, very noticeable dent in one of my incisions that looks like a belly button. I sucked my tummy in (LOL) too see if when I lost weight it would kinda even out. Nope. Does anyone else has this? Is the price for slimness two belly buttons? ;) Thanks in advance for sharing. Ever bit helps give hope for a better future.

I have a weird "dent" right underneath the right-hand side incision. The doc said they do quite a bit of internal stitching when closing and you are obviously lying down when this is done. Depending on your musculature and where the incision is, there may be a change with how the internal stitches pull everything together when you are upright (hence the dent ). It is something they can't really predict and can change from person to person. I don't care- I'd rather have a dent than all the blubber.

I had it and it suddenly went away at 4 weeks.

It goes away guys. You're still just a little swollen. I am 3 months and no dent to speak of.

I have so many surgery scars on my belly between this surgery, having my gallbladder removed and stretch marks from my pregnanices that I think a bikini is never happening for this gal no matter how skinny I get.

Yes, I have a dent on one of my incisions too. 12 days post op here. It doesn't bother me so much, but my surgeon cut into me in 7 different places. My belly looks like a map of Stonehenge.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
