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.
