How Do You Tell if You Tore the Muscle Repair from a Tummy Tuck? 6 Weeks PO

October 27, 2011
Asked By:Pam47

I am 6 weeks PO from having extended tummy tuck w/muscle repair. I have severe depression and tend to over eat at certain times. I got in a depression state right after my tt surgery and been eating toooo much. I am afraid I did damage, I am scheduled to talk to my counselor about my overeating w/stress. Can you please tell me how I would tell or know if I did damage, right now I'm afraid to ask my surgeon because I feel like a failure. Thanks so much
