It feels like my incision is stuck to my inside.

I have noticed that my large incision has been pretty sore and has had like a sunk in look pretty much since the day of surgery.  The past couple days I notice that if I bend down or side to side it really dimples in like it is stuck to either an organ or muscle inside. I plan to call my doctor tomorrow but I just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar situation and can give me any info about what it was causing it. Thanks!

Yes! I posted about this earlier today but I think yours is better at describing it than mine was. It's so painful I can barely stand it. I go in tomorrow to have staples and drain removed so hopefully the doctor can let me know what's going on.

Once you have the staples and drain removed your's will feel 100 times better.

Mine just hurts when I roll over or bend down its like my skin is attached to something inside. There is also a slight hard lump between this one and an old scar from my previous scar from when I had my gallbladder out. I wonder if its some type of adhesion.  I hope it dont have to be fixed with another surgery.

I dont jave staples just surgical glue.  So maybe yours has to do with the staples.

Mine looked like a chunk of my abdomen had been removed. It felt like it was stuck to the iinside until the deep stitch popped around 2-3 weeks post-op.

I. have the same thing its very sore I asked the doc about it and she said it a stitch in the muscle and that unfortunately us lucky ones that had to have that will be sore a little longer as muscles take longer to heal.

I had exactly the same thing. They put in stitches on the inside. It took mine about a month to heal. I am over 6 mos out and that incision is fine. The discomfort passes I promise!

I would still talk to your Dr but I too had the same thing..

 It looked like I had 2 belly buttons ..it was so in dented. . And did feel very sore.. but I'm almost 3 months out and my second belly button has been gone for almost 2 months.... 

Still ask your Dr about all concerns... but I'd say no problem...good luck speedy recovery! !! :-)
