I had a TT with diastasis repair Dec 2019. April 2021, a large lump appeared below my belly button. I had a repair to the lump May 2021. My PS said I ripped the fascia, staples were bent. The repair was with dissolvable stitches, belly button down. The lump, size of a bouncy ball has returned. I have not done anything differently in the past year, peloton & light PT. I need a plan to move forward that does not involve surgery every year and allows me to live a normal life.

Hello and greetings from Turkey. First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy. Sometimes muscle repair may holding up the lower tummy only. This has risk of your health and your pregnancy.
I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an evaluation. An exam is needed to determine the proper next steps to identify and address the nodules that concern you.
A full tummy tuck is the most invasive cosmetic surgery performed. The procedure separates your abdominal wall and reconstruct the muscle layer.
This causes the body to be permanently changed. Most people eventually get used to the changes and the new sensations become the norm.
