Seems like I can't eat late anymore after tummy tuck. Why?

Question

Michele A. Shermak, MD · Answer

Hello! After muscle repair associated with TT, you may get bloating and that can be uncomfortable. I sometimes see this last as long as a year. And the symptoms may be related to specific food groups (gluten?) so you should try to figure out which foods provide more problems.

Raymond Jean, MD · Answer

It is normal to have a decreased appetite after tummy tuck and also feeling full sooner than you did before having a tummy tuck.  Surgery and anesthesia in itself can decrease your appetite for a week or more.  The tightening of the abdominal muscle which is performed during a tummy tuck also leads to you felling full more quickly.  What you are experiencing is most likely normal but I would set up an appointment with your plastic surgeon to discuss  Best of luck
