It has been about a year and three months since my first tummy tuck and 8 months since my endoscopic abdominal muscle repair. My upper ab swelling/bulging is a lot better as you can see from my pic. I actually saw a GI specialist because I was having a lot of cramping, bloating and constipation (since my first surgery) and she diagnosed me of having IBS. I also had skin testing for allergies, which showed a ton of food allergies to include wheat, gluten, dairy, eggs and several more. I have pretty much avoided these foods for a few months now and started working out again (lost 10 lbs) and eating better i.e. no fried foods. I feel like I have more energy, my eczema has almost completely gone and NO MORE CONSTIPATION !! yay! My doctor says I will always have a slight bulge because it seems the doc tightened me a little more on the lower than the upper ab but I am sooo happy with the outcome and I am not getting that bloating feeling/cramping no longer. The only complaint is if I eat even a little too much I can slightly see the upper bulge. I was never like this before my surgery (I mean before my pregnancy) I am 104 lbs now and happy with the weight too. All in all, I am still very, very happy I went through the tummy tuck in the first place !

6 days since endo muscle ab repair:
Unfortunately, my bulge is still there. Right above belly button. I am sooooo pissed off that I have gone through this for no reason. I cried and still feel like crying.

today is day 3 (counting the day I had the procedure) I feel pain is a little more . . . was up to 5 or even 6. Maybe I should take more med's. I still am a litle hunched while walking. I feel if I stand compeley straight, my muscles are stretching and I dont want to take any risks this time. My pain pump comes out tomorrow. PS gave us instructions and husband will be removing it. The hardest part is getting in and out of bed without trying to use those stomach muscles even though I roll over and push muself up with one arm. I feel some sharp pains when doing so. I keep thinking OMG I sure hope I didnt undo a stich again! the most hardest part is not being able to pick up my little ones.but they are always around me :-)
