Asked By:mitzie87

13 months ago I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair on turkey. After I come round I was violently sick three times, one of I felt a sharp pop on two of the heaves. I mentioned this to the doctor and he said it was fine. The right side, which is the side that popped, healed months after the left, even coughing felt like a bubble was underneath a section and it was expanding. Today I am healed but the right side muscle is hard and raised from under my rib all the way down.
