I had a twin pregnancy that went to 39 weeks and a C section delivery. I weighed 226 at delivery (starting at 204) and have since gained weight back to that amount over 9 years. I have a very full upper abdomen and lower abdomen with an overhang of skin where my legs meet my torso. How do you know if you would qualify for reconstructive surgery due to a muscle split? Why wouldn't a regualr DR notice and recommend surgery?
