I'm approximately 17 days post op. I had a ventral hernia repaired as well as a 8 cm diastasis repaired with my tummy tuck. My last drain was removed 3 days ago. I hear random gurgling sounds coming from my abdominal region. No pain and to my untrained eye looks like no increase in swelling. No I am not hungry and it isn't always after a meal. What is this?

There is no set follow up regimen for this. It varies among different surgeons based on their aftercare protocol for tummy tuck surgery. In an uneventful situation my patients are see at one day postop, one week, one month, two months, three months and 6 monthly afterwards for 2 years.
