Diarrhea, Stomach Upset and Low Appetite 9 Days after Tummy Tuck

Without fever or intense abdominal pain at 9 days, it is unlikely to be the result of intrabdominal injury. The upset stomach may the result of medications, which should always be taken with food. Diarrhea may be the result of medications as well.
