So it has not been a year and a half since I had my surgery and I have dents on the left side of my stomach and a part of my belly button that sticks out . I talked to my surgeon and he said maybe we should go in again because there is still some fat left I am just worried that I'm going to end up worse . If I lose weight will it go away ?
