Had my procedure 7 months ago, had a large muscle separation from my belly button and upwards but no separation below my belly button. The separation was repaired and also a small umbilical hernia. I started noticing right away that my upper abdomen was swollen, the surgeon said it was because of the stitches. I am now 7 Months post OP and still very swollen. Is this normal? My surgeon still says its swelling in my “soft parts”. Im now trying to loose weight in hopes that it will make it better
