I'm 6 days post-op and things have been going very well. I haven't had much pain, just some discomfort around the left incision where my stomach was removed. Since the surgery, the incision area was indented quite significantly. Last night, I accidentally tapped it lightly, felt a weird pop sensation, and the indentation went away. It feels much better now. Does anyone have any idea what happened?

Maybe an internal stitch used on the abdominal muscles popped. I know that happens to a fair number of people. If that is what happened, it is just a stitch on a muscle outside the stomach and not a health concern, completely normal. But you might want to check in with your surgeon's office to be sure.

That sounds like the internal stitch. The same thing happened to me and the pain/tightness subsided rapidly after that

I am 16 days out and just had this experience a few minutes ago. I stood up from my recliner and felt a large twang in my belly by my main incision and now the incision pain that has been KILLING me is gone. *Happy Dance!!!***

I have that weird indentation too. I wonder if that will happen to me. Lol I'll freak out probably hahaha
