Hi, I had my surgery in January 2023 I have noticed a bulging and protruding lower abdomen started forming at around month 10.. also gastrointestinal can't digest food the way I used to. Having stomach pains and cramps. No weight gain. But lots of swelling in my legs. My hands and legs fall asleep fast. I consistently feel like puking. My side of my abdomen is very hard and just popping outwards. I was happy months 5/6. My stomach had abs and no loose skin. I had drainless surgery. Please help!
