14 days post op, I have a bigger lower tummy pooch than on day 3 post op. It is actually the same size as I had before, just much harder. I want to know if this is normal, as I see many post op pics and videos of other ladies where they are almost completely flat. I am extremely disappointed and depress that I have gone through this ordeal for nothing. I also have pleats on my scar, I hope this also will go away? When I wear my girdle, I even have a muffin top! Why is this happening?
