Asked By:nataliegar in Orlando, FL

I had a tummy tuck 1 year ago with umbilical hernia repair. Ever since 1 month I noticed a bulge above my belly button. I was told this was swelling.... then fluid. I waited no change. 6 months later I asked my doctor again and he said get on a diet and it's fat behind my abs. I sadly don't quite believe that.
