I had a tt revision on April 25, 2017. On August 9, 2017 I had a routine colonoscopy in which the doctor perforated my colon and caused me to become septic. My abdomen became very swollen and hard. This lasted several weeks. My infection was removed with a drain. Now my abdomen is back to the way it was before tt revision. Could the swelling from the perforation cause my muscle repair to be reversed? The picture I'm posting show my abdomen with swelling after botched colonoscopy.

It is still early postop and things will improve. After 12-18 months if you still have excess tissue this could be removed.Stay in contact with your PS esp if you are having some discharge still.
