6 weeks post op and stomach feels tight and big! Especially at the top! Could I have torn sutures and not realized it? I’ve done mild activities and have slowly gotten back to normal lifting at 6 weeks. Mainly housework and childcare. Could this be swelling or weight gain? I don’t see any evidence of seroma (no waterbed look).
