I have had two children. I had my first one when I was 18 and ever since then my stomach has been outta shape and was way to embarrassed to wear bathing suits or anything that would show my stomach. So I decided it was time to do something about it.

I had a tummy tuck almost 3 months ago and my tummy is a lot bigger. I have even had to go out and buy bigger clothes so I would have something to wear. My ps says it just swelling but would I be this swollen as to not being able to fit in my clothes? This was a once in a lifetime thing for me. What can I do? For once I wanted to feel comfortable in my own skin but seeing my tummy now,I dont think I will ever be. I am very very depressed. I put up pics to show how big my tummy is.

I am so depressed and dont know what to do. I had a mini tummy tuck almost 3 months ago and my stomach is a lot bigger than it was before. What can I do?

I'm so sorry to hear you're having difficulties. What does your stomach feel like - it is squishy or does it feel like there's a water balloon inside? I did not have much swelling with mine thank goodness, but my PS warned me that the fluid sacs were a fairly common concern and often only go away if they've been drained. Also, I did sleep with my feet elevated above my heart and took water pills for a few days on my PS's advice, but again my swelling was minimal. Hang in there and keep us posted.
Hey. Yes it feels like there is a water ballon inside. How long has it been since you had your tt? I will try sleeping with my feet elevated and see if that helps any and try the water pills.
Looks like swelling. It should go down. Give it some more time.
its swelling give it more time im swollen it 3 wks post in that same area i had no drains. its tender there too. i cannot fit into my clothes too i wear my binder faithfully
Hi, I had my surgery Jan22,2010 and I am almost 4 weeks post op and I still have swellin my ps says that its just me and will go down with time,but I'm startin to get worried. Did u have lipo there? And did it work please let me know.
Sorry it took me so long to get back with you. No I haven't had lipo on my tummy yet but I am in less than two weeks and some lipo in more areas. Im am still swollen in my tummy and some days it seems worse than the others. Maybe the lipo will help. Im keeping my fingers crossed!I will let you know if it works. Do you still have swelling?
