5 days after my tummy tuck and I feel so bloated. Is this normal?

February 7, 2015
Asked By:pamelajean in Montgomery, AL

When will the bloating go away... Will my stomach be even flatter after the swelling. I believe I was in shock when my doctor removed my bandages and now I have all these questions. How long does it take to see the full effect of the tummy tuck.
