I had a tt 2 years ago. Ive been short of breath and developed gerd immediately after surgery. i have to use asthma inhalers.

Is it possible that my diaphram is pushed up so high because my tuck is so tight, that its making it hard to breathe. I also have a very tight stomach, and the upper belly is very large and hard.

Hi Tracy, I had a tummy tuck 2 years back, and have the exact same symptoms as you described. I feel so helpless.

Did ya'll ever figure out how to fix this problem. I am 4 weeks post op and have been back to my ps to tell him I am short of breath. I am very tight and the shorness of breath makes me feel very faint. He said my oxygen level was good and he didn't see signs of a blood clot, so just told me it should get better. Please tell me it does get better!!!!
