Hello, I am 3.5 weeks post tummy tuck operation, muscle repair and umbilical hernia. Yesterday I held my 10 month old (20 lbs) and walked around with her for a bit. I also had her on the couch with me and lifted her off of the couch, about knee high. I didnt feel any soreness at the time; however, today I am experiencing soreness and slight pain on the left side of my abdomen (where I held her and was walking around). At this point in my recovery, do you think its possible Ive ripped my sutures?
This refers to a second compression garment I will wear about once a week, for the next five weeks. I plan to wear it all day, when I wash my original garment. It is a bit tight and not as smooth a fit as my original post op garment, on my tummy tuck area and torso. This is a back up compression garment that I will only wear about one day a week for the next five weeks, when I wash my original compression garment (which I love, and is by a different brandmaker than the back up garment).
Hi, I've just had a tummy tucky a week ago,yesterday I made two very strong movements with my core by accident; and I sneezed sometimes, I felt the skin stretching and a bit uncomfortable.My questions are: Can the muscle untie bcse of a strong movement with the core after tummy tuck? What will be the consequences of this strong movement + sneezing? I'll appreciate a lot a answer since I'm so scared and quite freaking out on the fact that I may have ruined my future results :/.Tnks a lot!
11 days ago I had a tummy tuck with liposuction on the flanks, chest, and back. Today I had a bit of sexual contact with someone else but it was nothing but masturbation. Will my results be ruined from this? I was told to hold off on sex until week 3, but technically I didn't have sex.
I had a tummy tuck about 16 days ago. Ultrasound was done that confirmed it was just air and not much if any fluid. I don't have any hot spots or elevated temp. Should I be concerned? Can this ruin my results? The pocket seemed to have gotten larger over time but does not crackle and pop any more. Spoke to a local surgeon, ER doc and PS, Not sure of what else I can do other than compress. Google searches leave me with relateable informagion
6wks after Everything was going well, till I was getting my 4 yr. Old out of tub I got kicked in the stomach. I tried to find a Dr. in the Boise,Idaho area but no body will help. I'm afraid to ruin my results. I wear my compression wear around the clock but I'm getting tired of it and after four weeks since I developed this seroma it has reduced in size but I can still see it come back if I'm out of compression wear for any prolonged period. Help I'm willing to travel if anyone can help
I'm having the seroma drained weekly, today was 75cc... Last week 100 cc and the week before 150. So it's getting better. The thing is, I was reallly flat. I pulled some scar tissue but no major issues. I know it's early to tell, but my stomach has like an indent directly in he middle that kind of divides my stomach in two. Feeling a little down about it.my upper abs are so full now. It feels hard and is bigger before surgery. Please say that this is swelling. Some days in the morn it's smaller
I've been exercising daily on my elliptical for the last 3 wks. I work out about 45 mins daily and have turned up the resistance slightly, nothing close to what I was doing pre-op. However, I feel a lot of soreness in my abs, especially first thing in the morning. I just want to be sure that I'm not hurting or ruining my muscle repair somehow?? Is it normal and ok to feel such soreness from simply exercising on an elliptical?
I coughed three different times because I had food stuck in my throat. The pain burned and hurt very badly. I'm afraid I undid the stitches internally. My doctor won't be in until Monday. I had my Muscle repair and tummy tuck on June 1, 2015. How much should I be worried right now? I am about to have a panick attack in fear that I undid all of the surgery and stitching.
