I’m 10 months p/o from TT w/muscle repair. Around 4th mo I developed a hematoma. Dr. cleaned it out & added another drain. Drain was removed by Dr & my stomach was never flat again. He said I’m still recovering .bSonogram was done by my PCP and it’s nothing to drain (4th mo) . Stomach protrudes above vag!
