Incision site "sunk-in"

My incision site has sunk-in, it is on my left-side. I believe this incision site is the largest incision site that the scooter uses for his instruments.

Does anyone else have the same situation? I am 12-days post op from my Lap-Band to RNY revision.

      Mine did too, I was concerned about it at first. But It's the site where they most "work" was done, and as it heals it's swelling and pulling the stitches in, creating that sunken effect, I'll go away
