10 Wks After Hernia Repair and "Tightening" Things Up from Diastasis, Still Have Swelling, Normal?
WannaflatummyNov 22, 2011
I had diastasis, umbilical and ventral hernia. I had follow up a week later and general surgeon said my pregnancy stretched and weakened abdominal wall but he tightened everything up and repaired hernias and I would be happy in about a month when swelling went down. I still have swelling on upper left side and lower right side looking distorted 10 wks post op. I followed the rules strictly, no heavy lifting at all! is this normal?
