weird looking belly button after laparoscopic hysterectomy
:new :Hi there , I am at day 10 in recouping . I am wondering has anyone experienced an altered weird looking navel after a laporascopic hysterectomy that was performed thru the belly button?
I thought I have done plenty of research and pestered my doc with tons of questions, however I am not prepared for this My navel is healing but I seem to have this alien looking fleshy lump in my formerly normal sort of cute belly button. I hope i do not sound too rediculous but this worries me.

Re: weird looking belly button
Hello had the same surgery thru belly button too and my belly button is far from what it was before i won't even look at it!!! I went the doc and she told me it was healing great it's still swollen and gross but she said don't pick at it or scrub it all will heal on it's own. She said by week six it should be back to normal .. So throw a shirt on and try not to pay attention to it just yet!! That's what I do!!

Re: weird looking belly button
None of my 5 small incisions were through my belly button, but one of mine (next to my belly button) was indented so much that I thought they had pulled something HUGE out of me. Not so much!! When I asked, I was told that the inside stitches were pulled very tight in that one side and as my insides heal, the indent will relax and go back to normal.
Happily, this is proving to be true.

Re: weird looking belly button
I'm 17 days out. I've got a small bump on my belly button incision just because of how they pulled it back together. It's going down from my belly button instead of up. This is my third laproscopic surgery so there are now 3 scars in my belly button. I don't show it so it doesn't bother me at all. I'm just glad that the stitches dissolved because they'd been pulling

Re: weird looking belly button
Thanx ladies, I will do exactly that - give it more time and not look at it too closely until then and majorly keep all fingers crossed. I have my first check up on the 24th and will confirm with my doctor.

Re: weird looking belly button
I started out with a weird looking belly button before surgery, and now it looks normal. And it looks better everyday as things heal up, so wait and see, it will probably get better.
