Please tell me this is normal HELP!'

About 10 mins ago I was bending over to tie my shoes and a hear this loud pop noise! I immediately jump up and grab my large incision because that's where I felt it at, it felt like it had burst open or something it's fully healed though.  so I sit down and stand again and I notice that the incision is no longer dented in now I'm having a full on panic attack shaking trying to dial my surgeons number just to be told when we contact him he will call you! I'm over hear scared to death that I busted something I'm about to call an ambulance. I'm not having any pain or nothing abnormal I'm waiting on the surgeon to call please tells me if I should go to the ER or is that suppose to happen or has it happened to you!!

You're fine!  Calm down. I had the same thing happen- minus losing the dent. I had a sharp pain in that spot while at the grocery store- so sharp I screamed and almost fell on the floor. I was absolutely ok, but scared. It happened a couple more times but none recently. It's all just part of healing. I'm sure you're fine!  Speak to the doc when he calls you back, but I think it's all good!

Ok thanks wheeeewwwww..., *wipes forehead* just talked to the surgeon was told it's the stitch desolving! Man that was scary and hey I'm new to this lol! 

Agreed!  I thought I was dying!  I was sure I'd sprung a leak or something!!

 I was certain my incision had burst or something inside did! I've never dialed so many wrong digits trying to call the surgeon in my life lol!!

Ok I'm going to leave this up for any new vsg'ers just in case it happens to you, keep calm and don't panic lol after 3-4 weeks the stich the surgeon puts in the large incision starts to desolate and you might hear a loud popping noise again DONT PANIC! As long as there is no nausea,vomiting or uncontrollable pain your ok!! 

I never experienced that "popping" sound- that WOULD be SCARY!!! Glad every thing ok-good to give a shout out to the newer ones. After awhile the incision will itch a lot and needs to be scratched but I guess those are signs it is healing!

We are so glad to hear everything is ok. As you said Whew!

I had something similar happen a long time ago with an abdominal surgery and I was really unnerved by it too.  Glad it wasn't anything serious.  Our bodies are amazing and will do all they can to heal.  We just need to let them and that's the hardest part, giving them the time to heal.   

Plastics are even worse... random, out of the blue pains like someone knifed you... lots of nerve endings involved. I can deal with constant, nagging pain but those random catch you off guard ones are the worst.

Hope all is well,
