Okay so this may sound crazy but i am 9 days post op. I went into surgery expecting regularly incisions, and when i woke up i only had one through my belly which i was confused as well as ecstatic! But i dont know if this is healing correctly or if its scabbing right or if is infection (no puss no ooze, just very hard scabs which causes pain when i sit down) i was just wondering if anyone has had a single incision through the navel and if so, is this normal?

I had a single incision on 01/09/17 through my bellybutton as well! Though, I didn't experience any pain whatsoever on or around my incision. Here's a picture of what my incision looked like post surgery. You can barely tell, lol. So I'm not surprised I didn't feel any pain. That skinny black line at the bottoms of my bellybutton, is the incision. Oh! & I didn't experience scanning! But everyone is different. I only experienced flaking glue that fell off on its own.

Thank you! I will talk to my doctor and see why the scabbing is causing me pain. Wish you luck on your journey

I had pain at my primary incision site due to internal stitch healing, I bet your doctor will say this is very normal 9 days is a short time
