before my surgery my stomach was so big if i laid on it i couldnt breathe, i began to work out and began to loose weight, except my stomach muscles needed repair so i got a tummy tuck (extended).

i got a tummy tuck 2 years ago, my stomach is still numb in most places, i have thread coming out of my naval, it feels as though something is tearing w/ most movement, at times im in so much pain i cant stand or lay down just a pulling sensation, my stomach swells off and on but the right side more so the lower abdominal area (right side) remains swollen and i have a very noticable bulge on the lower right side, i have hard knots in my lower abdominal area starting right under my belly button and ending right under the scar, my skin even moves around the knots...

i have moved since my surgery, i called my dotor and i was told its my fault and more than likely its just weight gain, except i have only lost weight since my surgery never gained once...

Does this sound right??? what should i do?

Great review?

I think I would avoid any place that has coupons on their website. I found that to be a bit odd. I hope you do followup with a decent doctor. It would be worth the cost. Best of luck.

You need a clinical followup and a proper examination. Best,

My tummy tuck was over a year ago. Upper belly swells all the time. Clothes bother me around the waist. Whole belly gets to hurting almost everyday. It helps if I wear a girdle, but it makes me warm. I really don't think this is the way I am suppose to feel. My Dr says that he can do some Lipo suction. I am afraid that if my body didn't respond well the first what will it do with Lipo. What should I do? Thought about going to an Internist.
