Even typing this makes me cringe. I had a lap in October, all healed. Thought I had something in my belly button recently turns out it’s how they’ve stitched it it’s different to before. Everything I think about it I feel weird get a weird feeling.. I hate belly buttons! Haha

Anyone else had this?

You're not alone!

I've had two laps and noticed my belly button was stitched in a way that when it healed it had changed shape and seemed like it had extra bumps in there. Bizarre and weird but you get used to it! Prepping for my 3rd lap, among more serious questions, I also wonder what belly button I'll get this time haha

All the best x

I'm the same, I had my lap 2 weeks ago, it's healing nicely but I can tell that my belly button has a totally different shape than before and it's really weird!! x

It took ages for my belly button the heal! At first it look weird and had a new fold. I hated it. After 3 months it look much better, almost like before the lap :)

It’s strange how little things like that make a difference :)
