Asked By:Kukla10 in Chicago, IL

Photos the night before my full TT. The doctor said by recti was seperated five inches. He did one layer dissolvable stitches and one permanent. After this my stitches started coming about so he did another layer of permanent sutures. Could my abdominal wall be very weak and needs mesh for extra support. My upper abdominal area looks like maybe I have a hernia??
