Re: 7 months post op - belly still bruised

GYN said 'not surgery related'. The bruised area is also recessed. I
saw my GP who sent me to another surgeon. That surgeon said "caused
from some type of trauma, I can't help you"
So, I guess if I could make the thing stick out instead of sinking in, I
could get fixed.
Thanks,
