Nausea, Hardening of Stomach and Burning Pain After Tummy Tuck?

Anon04293
Hi, I notice that after my drains were removed my stomach started growing a little in size and is now rock hard. The more I move around the harder it gets. I went to my doctor and he said that he don't feel fluid but my stomach shouldnt be hard. So he said it may be infection but he's not sure, so he put me on bacterim for 5 days. Also with the selling I had pain on the right side of my stomach but that pasty started a week after the hardness. Now I'm regretting my tt.
