I hurt myself in the gym Nov 2014. Severe pain in lower abdomen. In December hurt myself again. I have been suffering pains and discomforts since (depending on my physical activity). I have had two hernia repairs (1990 and 2005). I am 55 yrs old. MRI showed I have 'chronic abdominis muscle tear'. The Dr said rest. No surgery or medication. I would like to ask how long will it take ro recover from this. Thank you. Syed A. Ali (Malaysia)

Nope. It's not a problem for you to hold or suck in your abdomen afte TT surgery. When a secure muscle plication is performed by your plastic surgeon, sucking in will have no ill effects on your results. Be well. Dr. Burnett
You did not mention how long post surgery you are. If you are more than a month post-op, binging will not affect your results. If you are less than one month and still taking narcotic pain pills, you will probably get constipated,and I would not recommend binging . In either...
Thanks for your question. These are extremely complex questions not to be dealt with through an online service. You had serious complications and must be counseled by the appropriate medical personel. Hope this helps,Dr. JSB
