I am 46 years old, 5'5" and 159 lbs. I've had three kids, within last two years lost 30 lbs and I went to see surgeon to get full tummy tuck with muscles tightened along with breast lift and implants. Got procedures done 9 weeks ago and the sag/roll that I had is gone but my stomach is still huge. I measured 38 inches around at naval before and still do. Surgeon says that it isn't uncommon for some people to still be this swollen. I've warn my girdle faitfully. Please advise.
