Pain 3 Years After Tummy Tuck
I have had my Tummy Tuck 3 years ago, and I woke up this morning with abdominal pain. It felt like the wire from the stitches that were loose, and I can feel the wire in my stomach. I have never felt that in my abdomen before, what should I do? Is it possible that the stitches came loose after this long?

See your doctor
At this point in time, the stitches are not as important as the scar tissue that has formed to give you a strong repair. Have you done a new activity, or moved differently or strenuously?
Other things may also be in play, and are likely not serious, however, I would recommend a visit with your doctor. At least, he can give you ideas of how to get relief.

Abdominal pain years after Tummy Tuck
If you have not had pain before this, then it is more likely that the pain is unrelated. Many conditions can cause abdominal pain (ulcer, obstruction, gallbladder, appendix, diverticluitis,e tc.) and it would be wrong to just assume this is from a tummy tuck years prior. You should call your primary physician and be evaluated immediately to rule out other more serious causes of abdominal pain.
