5 months post op and this bulgeI'm having the same tightness to breath as after surgery I'm so frustrated What is wrong? I go to pt for muscle core therapy And its not helpingI feel as my stomach sticks out more then before
Abdominoplasty 5 yrs ago. Felt like tightest pair of spanx and hard to deep breathe- uncomfortable!! Developed upper abd bulge looked strange. Tightness and bulge ever present. lower abdomen is tight I am57 160lbs. Ive developed chronic gerd. On endoscopy - Barrets esophagus with hiatal hernia due to increased intraabd pressure. now on Prilosec 20-40 mg (side effects)still with cascade of symptoms. Im at inc risk for esoph ca as a result of all this. none was discussed prior to surgery.
I have had four children and I have a bit of loose skin. I previously had a nissan Fundoplication because I was aspirating and had terrible shortness of breath. After the nissan I developed a worsening of my IBS. It is so bad that I am on antidepressants to release serotonin in my gut. Every night my stomach bloats but I am no longer in any pain from this. My Nissan was 18 months ago. I am worried that with a tummy tuck that my stomach will not have room to bloat and I will be in pain or worse.
I am very active, exercising 7 days a week and a distance runner. I am 2 months PO and have found that I am not able to take deep breathes. Running up the stairs leaves me completely winded and even talking a lot has me feeling out of breath. Could it be that my lungs can't expand where they could before? Is this something that will get better with time? I had my hopes on running a marathon this year but can't even go a mile without feeling totally out of breath.
What does a tummy tuck undoing entail, and will it be as invasive as the actual tummy tuck? Can the sutures be taken out through your belly button, instead of having to be cut end to end? its been 4 years but I still feel short of breath & miserable in my own skin. I've been to a couple other surgeons (I don't want to see my original surgeon anymore because of the damage already done), and they tell me it's in my head. Anyone know a doctor who has done the tummy tuck undoing procedure?
Am concerned about a tummy tuck which has left it difficult to breathe freely and deeply. Is this something that is normal for this procedure and if not, what are the remediations for something like this?
I have ruled out with my Cardio, Pulmonary and Nero doctors anything heart, sleep or pulmonary related. I can not walk, exercise or carry on a long conversation without being short if breath. I have pain in my diaphragm area that is acute and sharp.How do I exercise when I can't breathe my weight gain 35 lbs I feel like I need to wear my binder all the time because of sharp pain. Is my diaphragm too compressed. Was I made to tight? I did fall in Sept and ripped my internal stitches do I have a hernia??
