Asked By:Sandyd2226 in Redlands, California

I'm 5'2 115lbs. I had full tummy tuck w/muscle repair 13mos ago. Theres more excess skin now than I had before. I believe I have a damaged lymphatic system. I'm STILL holding fluid,worse at night,but can flair up during the day as well.Do I have Pseudo bursa?I now have excess fat all over my body (its BAD). I exercise & eat healthy!My left breast that had a torn muscle has bottomed out AGAIN, leaving me in more pain than before. Dr wants to charge me for another surgery!WHAT?!
