JP drains in my groin after a TT, tubes pull my skin. Is it normal to feel so anxious?

AHowardApr 16, 2014

Inverted T Tummy Tuck, breast lift with augmentation 13 days ago due to losing 110 lbs. About 40 cc drainage per day per bulb. No signs of infection outside but one had a little drainage yesterday. The drains pull on my skin and then after I have been up for awhile I start feeling weird in that area and very anxious like I am going to jump out of my skin everything starts to bother me noise, other people, light, etc. I just feel like I want to hide and cry. I have no idea what is going on

There are no exercises that will correct a diastasis recti.  The only factor which will correct a diastasis is tightening of the muscle with sutures during a tummy tuck.  However, exercising prior to your tummy tuck is a great idea for overall conditioning and weight control.  You...
