Is it normal for your stomach to get flabby after tummy tuck when it was initally flat?

Anonymous790196
I'm 5.2 and 156 lbs. On 11.19.14 I had a mommy makeover. My recovery has been diffcult. Initally my stomach was very flat up until 30 days after surgery. Over the past month my stomach has returned to being flabby. I was also told I had mrsa and currently taking meds. My stomach is huge Yestetday my doctor tapped me and no fluid came out. My PS says my stomach will continue to bloat and shrink, but it's not shrinking..is it normal to look flabby. Do I need a revision? I don't feel attractive.
