Asked By:Graceful868290 in Nashville, Tennessee

October 2020 I had abdominal plasty and the 360 Lipo. May 2021 I had reconstruction of my belly button because it closed up. I’ve had swelling and inflammation issues all the way up until nine months postop. I finally felt like my old self again but it only lasted five months before the swelling and pain when I coughed or sneezed start it up. i’m skinny in the morning and by evening I have a large upper bulge and swelling. Major pressure and discomfort! Haven’t been able to workout in over a mo!
