I had Abdominoplasty and and Mastectomy 6.5 months ago. I still have a horrible bulge right above my groin. I was 250 pounds when I had the surgery. Both the same day. Today I am 212 pounds and still losing. What should my next step be? Honestly I freaking hate the way it looks. Is this still all edema 6 months later?
