Hi Devin -

I too had one very odd looking & feeling incision and all the others healed

really well. My surgeon told me that it was the only one that had to go through

all the muscle layers, only one with stitches below the superficial level, and

that it was the one that most of the tools were inserted through. Basically,

that the others were healing faster because they had been through a lot less. I

was pretty convinced it was infected or worse, and it definitely took a lot

longer to heal than the others.

just my experience,, hope it helps.

main incision right above my belly button looks weird. I don't see Dr. Melvin

until Feb. 17th and it's a 2 hour drive for me to get there so I wondered if

anyone had any thoughts. It looks like an incision with a burn all around it,

with scratches around the burn. Weird huh? It doesn't really hurt anymore, but

the incision is in a large indentation in my belly, almost like a second belly

button, and above it the skin pouches out into a bump and there is something

hard under the bump. I don't know if this is scar tissue or what but it is kind

of freaking me out. Is this normal?
