My stomach was only flat for 5 weeks after my tummy tuck, after that I've been really tight like I'm gonna pop. I've been to my surgeon several times about this and he only took a look at it and said nothing is wrong. I wake up kinda flat and as soon as I'm out of bed my belly blows up.I visited my primary doctor and he did a physical and said it has to be connected to the surgery.
