Will my belly button ever feel normal?

I had my first lap in 2015 and felt pretty much back to normal within a week (just diagnostic - no treatment), then I had another at the end of Jan this year which did include treatment. My belly button is now a different shape which is fine, but it still feels weird, verging on painful! It mostly hurts when I stretch or lie on my tummy. Is this just how I am now?

Hiya,

I had my diagnostic laparoscopy in December 2018, I still have little pain when i press my belly button little harder or when i stretch.. I think its normal. So, don't worry..

How are you feeling now @hm89?

I still struggle to lie on my belly or wear tight waistbands but it’s more uncomfy than painful.
