Indentation In The Lower Leg. Looks Like Edema. History Of Gastric Bypass Surgery. Could This Be Due To Dehydration?
I have an indentation in my lower leg near my shin bone that just showed up from the way i was sitting. It s going away slowy, seems like it would be from edema (pitting) maybe? As far as i know i m healthy but did have gastric bypass surgery almost a year ago and have lost more than 90 lbs. I weigh 129 right now at 5 3 . Could this indention be caused by dehydration?

Hi,
Due to loss of weight after gastric bypass surgery, you may encounter such problems like wrinkling of skin due to loss of fat in the subcutaneous tissue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
